Great layout of all the info and much appreciated. We launched this weekend our new stump grinding service here just north of Houston TX. Super excited to land our first job. Taking a two pronged approach of hitting some light geo targeting on META and also calling tree service and landscape installations companies for sub opportunities.

Awesome!! Absolutely a deep dive from a 3rd party. We just registered the llc and will be purchasing a sg-40 in the coming weeks just outside of Indy. We will keep you posted on our venture!

I’ve been having a lot of success at a $450 minimum, if I do a stump that’s over 4’ I go up from there.

I have a 200$ minimum! Do it on the side and it has been awesome!

If your doing clean up for a grind. It should be priced double the job. Or just don't clean up. Another side business is clean up for stump grinding.

OK... So my business plan is crazy... I do free equipment work for local veterans. I did actually get a 501C3 approved today by the irs. I have a mini skid and just got a stump grinder attachment. Sunday I ground 20 stumps for a local veteran, and I'm only about 1/3 done with the field. Getting commercial insurance is one of the next things on my list as so far I've just been using a liability release form. But this whole insurance thing is super overwhelming for me for some reason. Anyway, any pointers on that would be helpful.
