Acreage is a different kind of stump job
A yard job is priced by the stump. Acreage is not, because on rural property around the edges of Hamilton County and out toward Cicero, Sheridan, and Tipton, you are not dealing with one stump, you are dealing with a fence line of them, a cleared woodlot, or a pasture dotted with what is left after years of tree work. Counting and pricing each one stops making sense.
So we price the day. A day-rate covers as many stumps as we can grind in the time, which on open acreage is a lot, and it gets the per-stump cost down to where clearing a working property is actually affordable. We bring the machine sized for the ground and the biggest stumps in the field, and leave the acreage workable, mowable, or ready to fence.
How an acreage grind goes
- Walk the groundWe drive the property, get a sense of the count, sizes, and terrain, and set a day-rate.
- Call 811We call Indiana 811 for a utility locate across the work area before grinding.
- Grind by the dayWe work the stumps down across the acreage, the machine sized for the field and the biggest stumps in it.
- Leave it workableWe knock the grindings down and leave the ground mowable, plantable, or ready to fence.
Specs we work to
| Spec | What we do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Day-rate, about $1,350 per 8-hour day | The affordable basis for high rural counts |
| Best for | Pastures, fence lines, woodlots | Where per-stump pricing stops making sense |
| Grind depth | 6–12″ standard, 12″+ replant | Field stays mowable or ready to replant |
| Terrain | Machine sized for open, uneven ground | Rural lots are not flat suburban lawns |
| Utility safety | Indiana 811 locate before every grind | Even rural lots have wells, septic, and lines |
Where we do this
We grind farm and acreage stumps across the rural edges of Hamilton County and out into the Cicero, Arcadia, Sheridan, and Tipton areas. Tell us the rough count and acreage and we will set a day-rate that covers the field.
