What moves the price

Diameter: the biggest factor; measure across the widest point at ground level.
Access: narrow gates, slopes and stumps next to foundations or fences take more time.
Species and age: hardwoods and fresh stumps grind slower than old, rotted ones.
Roots: surface roots and full root removal add labor.
