Published figures, with sources
| What | Range | Average | Area | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One residential stump, most jobs | $112 to $281 per stump | $196 | St. Louis, MO area | Angi St. Louis stump removal cost page (Angi says the page was created with automation, so treat it as an estimate) |
| Stump removal including digging, as one job | $600 to $813 per job (may include more than the stump) | Not published | Saint Charles, MO | Homeyou Saint Charles tree service cost guide (updated 2026-10-10 per the page; the same range is also given for removing a medium tree) |
These are published third-party estimates, not quotes, and the two sources describe different jobs. Many pros also set a minimum charge, so a small single stump can come in above the low end. The pro who sees your stump sets the price.
Why the quotes you get may not match
- Grinding versus digging out. Digging out the stump and roots is a different, larger job than grinding. Confirm which one each quote covers.
- Width at the widest point. Stump diameter is the usual driver. A stump with flared roots can cost more than its trunk width suggests because the roots have to be ground too.
- Access. A stump behind a narrow gate, up a slope or tight against a fence may need a smaller machine or hand work. Older city lots can be tighter than newer ones; see older-district access.
- Wet ground. After heavy rain a machine can rut soft ground. Some pros reschedule or charge for repairing it. See the soil page.
- Cleanup. Chips left in the hole cost less than chips hauled off. Say which you want.
- Several stumps. Setup and travel are paid once, so per-stump cost usually falls when stumps are done together.

Common questions
Why do the two published ranges differ so much?
They describe different work. The Angi figure is for one stump, mostly grinding. The Homeyou range is for stump removal that runs from grinding to digging, and the page gives the same range for removing a medium tree, so it may include more than the stump. Neither is a quote.
Should I trust these numbers?
Treat them as a sanity check. Angi states its St. Louis page was created with automation technology. Homeyou does not say how it gathers local data. The only real price is the one a pro writes down after seeing your stump.
What should a written quote say?
The price for each stump, how deep the grind goes, whether chips stay or leave, whether the hole is filled, and who requests the 811 locate.
