Common questions
How much does it cost?
Published estimates vary: Angi lists $112 to $281 for most single-stump jobs in the St. Louis area, and Homeyou lists $600 to $813 for removal that includes digging in Saint Charles. Many pros also charge a minimum. See the cost guide for sources and caveats.
Do I have to call 811?
We advise yes. Missouri requires two business days notice before excavation, and grinding disturbs soil. See the 811 page.
The stump is by the street. Can I just hire someone?
The city says owners maintain street trees, and it runs a 50/50 program for dead or dangerous right-of-way trees. We could not confirm whether a permit is needed for stump work there, so call the city first.
Will the grass grow back?
Usually after you fill and reseed the spot. Chips settle, so expect to top up.
Are you a stump company?
No. We are a referral service run by Anchor Co Media.
