Stump grinding and stump removal in Sylvan Park, Nashville
In Sylvan Park, original 1920s-to-’50s bungalows and cottages sit right beside new construction, often on the same block. Lots are small to medium and flat, and big oaks and maples are a big part of the neighborhood’s character. Stump jobs here come from old trees dying out, storms and infill teardowns.

Storm damage and old trees
The 1998 tornado hit Sylvan Park, and storms since then have kept bringing down mature trees. Old oaks and maples that die out leave wide stumps, so measure at ground level before you call. If roots are spreading across the lawn too, see root removal.
Cottages next to new builds
When a cottage comes down for a new house, the old trees on the lot often go with it. Stumps under the new footprint or driveway need full removal, while the rest can be ground. If the lot next door was just rebuilt and your stump is near the shared fence line, mention that too.
Small to medium lots
Yards here are flat but compact, so a stump is often near a fence, a driveway or the house. A photo showing what’s around it and the width of your gate helps us bring a machine that fits.

Before you send us a quote request
- Measure the stump across the widest point at ground level.
- Count the stumps. Extra stumps on the same visit usually cost less each.
- Check access. Measure your narrowest gate and note slopes, fences or decks near the stump.
- Mark private lines. Sprinklers, invisible dog fences, lighting and septic lines are not marked by 811, so point them out to us.
- Decide on cleanup. Chips left as mulch, or hauled away and backfilled with topsoil.
What it costs
Price mostly depends on stump width, then on the number of stumps, access and cleanup. Most jobs run about $120 to $400 per stump, with a per-visit minimum: a small stump is at the low end and a big one is at the high end. Send us a photo and we’ll give you a firm quote. The Nashville cost guide explains each factor.

How much does stump grinding cost in Sylvan Park?

Is stump grinding the same as stump removal?
Not exactly, though people often use the two names for the same job. Stump grinding uses a machine with a spinning cutting wheel to chew the stump down below the soil line; the roots stay in the ground and break down over time. Full stump removal digs out the stump and its main root ball, which leaves a bigger hole to backfill and usually costs more. If you want a stump gone from a lawn or garden bed, grinding is usually all you need. Full removal makes sense when a foundation, patio, pool or regrade is going in right where the stump sits.
What happens to the wood chips?
Grinding turns the stump into a pile of chips and soil. We usually leave it in the hole or nearby for you to use as mulch. Hauling it away and backfilling with topsoil is usually an extra charge, so just ask and we’ll include it in your quote.
Does someone need to call 811 before grinding?
Usually, yes. Tennessee 811 says anyone excavating with machinery needs their own locate request, made at least three working days ahead; the service is free. Before any grinding, Tennessee 811 is called to mark public lines. Private lines such as sprinklers, invisible dog fences, landscape lighting and septic lines are not marked by 811, so point those out.
Is the quote free?
Yes. The quote is free and there is no obligation. Send us a photo of the stump, its width at ground level and your narrowest gate, and we’ll give you a firm quote.
