Stump Removal & Lawn Repair in Paducah, KY

Full removal — root ball dug out with an excavator, not surface-ground — typically runs $160–$700 per stump all-in depending on size, with most yard stumps landing between $250–$410 including replacement fill soil. Our project minimum is $450, which covers getting the machine to your property — so bundling several stumps or adding lawn work to the same visit is the best value.

Grinding chews the stump off a few inches below grade and leaves the root ball rotting under your yard — which settles into a sink hole over the years. We remove the entire root ball, refill the hole with delivered soil, compact it, and leave it ready for seed. It costs more than grinding, and it's the last time you'll think about that stump.

When the root ball comes out, its soil goes with it — a medium stump takes roughly a yard of dirt. Replacement fill is delivered and billed per yard as its own line item, so you see the real cost instead of it being buried in a padded stump price.

Yes — and it's the smart way to do it. Ruts, low spots, and topsoil work share the same mobilization, so adding lawn repair to a stump visit costs only the added work. Use the lawn calculator above for a range.
