Built for stump grinding businesses

From the first stump to the last chip.

Quote by the stump, on-site

Price by diameter and count without going back to the office. Snap a photo, measure the stump, and hand the homeowner a number before you leave the driveway. The fastest quote usually wins the job.

Owned vs. rented equipment tracking

Running a rented grinder this week and your own next month? Log the rental cost against the job so you always know your true margin — not just the price you charged.

Job photo documentation

Stump before the grind, depth you took it to, and the raked-clean pad after — all attached to the job. Your proof of work and your best marketing in one place.

Utility locate notes

Log your 811 locate status and any flagged lines before the cutter head goes in. Hitting a buried line is the one expensive mistake in this trade — know it's cleared before you grind.

Add-on services as line items

Chip haul-off, topsoil fill, reseeding — bundle and bill each as its own line item. The grind is the anchor; the cleanup is where the margin lives.

Subcontract & referral work

Tree crews and landscapers who don't own a grinder send you the grind after they fell a tree. Track every partner, keep the steady referral volume organized, and auto-invoice the company that called you.

Just getting started?

You can start a stump grinding business without buying a grinder.

A new stump grinder runs $3,000 to $30,000+ — but you don't need one to start. Rent a tow-behind grinder from your local equipment yard for $100–$350 a day, line up two or three stumps you've already booked, and charge $100–$250 each. The rental pays for itself on the first stump and you pocket the rest. Run it on weekends until the volume is steady, then buy your own machine once the math makes the payment obvious. It's the lowest-capital way into the trades — your biggest tool is a line item you only pay for on days you're already getting paid.
