I was wondering the same exact thing... except i'm wondering it now & you were wondering it a year ago :D ahhh how time's change.
The average cost to remove a tree stump ranges from $60 to $350 per stump, depending on various factors like size. The average removal cost breaks down to approximately $2 to $3 per diameter of the stump. If you do it yourself, it may only cost you about $75 to $150.
1 Large stump grinding averages $169-$300. 2  Small stumps are about $75. 3  While branches and litter from the tree removal are cleaned up by the tree crew, the cost estimate does not always include hauling away the large pieces of potential firewood.
