Need some advice stump removal price

[sasha.p]

I don't normally remove stumps and need some advice on pricing 30 fresh cut small conifer stumps 10-12 inch but adjacent to a wall that has signs of movement in it I am going to hire a pedestrian grinder, I know these are not great as with any hire tools but I don't think a mini digger will do the wall any favours. I have no idea what I should be charging for the removal can somebody please advise me I don't want to under-price or overprice the job can anyone advise me please.Thanks

£150 hire charge approx, £320 labour leaving grindings on site raked over.

That's what I would charge.

Thank you I just don't want to mess up my pricing and do myself down I am fine with pricing the removal of everything above ground just not a clue where to start with pricing stumps the site has to be re planted by me so I want to do it properly but I don't want to be under pricing, how long would it take using a pedstrian stump grinder to take 30 of them out?

Depends how bigger pedestrian grinder you can get in, and how strong you are. If you've never used one before it will take a lot longer than you realise! Plus teeth aren't always the best on hire machines.

 

I think I'd put two days on it with a basic pedestrian grinder. If you could get a HB20 or similar a lot less time.

 

Without seeing the job, access, ground conditions etc etc I would guess £500ish

I would charge 550 for the job.

the time involved i can only say with the machine i got, a predator 38, would take around 2 hours. but a smaller machine then mine i don't know, never used one.

470/500/550 Nice to see everyone very similar on price for a change!

Maybe hire someone with a bigger machine or as big as you can get in and put a one'er on top. No effort required then you can go and earn money elsewhere..just a thought. Pedestrian grinders are hell.
