How stump grinding is priced
Indiana grinders mostly price by the inch across the top of the stump, around $3 to $6.40 per inch, with a minimum charge of roughly $185 to $210. Online estimators show a single medium stump in Terre Haute at about $79 to $144, so a one-stump visit near the minimum is normal, and extra stumps in the same yard cost less each.
Measure the diameter at about knee height, count the stumps and note any roots above the ground. Those three numbers let a grinder quote you quickly over the phone.
Before the grinder starts: lines and depth
Indiana law asks anyone excavating to contact Indiana 811 at least two full working days before digging. The statute doesn't name stump grinding, but a careful grinder calls 811 anyway, because the cutting wheel goes several inches down. If you're across the state line in Illinois, the number is JULIE at 800-892-0123.
Most grinders go 6 to 12 inches below the ground. Go deeper if you plan to put a new tree in the same spot, and ask about backfill, because the pile of chips will be a lot bigger than the hole.
What to do with the chips and stump leftovers
Wood chips from a stump make good mulch for beds and paths, and many grinders will leave them for you. Don't plan on dropping a whole stump at the county site, which accepts no stumps.
Terre Haute's silty clay soils stay wet in spring, so a fresh stump hole settles. Grinding after the ground has dried a little, then topping up with soil and seed, gives a cleaner patch.
