What changes the price
The width of the stump, how hard the wood is, and how close it sits to a fence, a wall or a path all change the time it takes. So does a machine that has to be carried in rather than driven.
If you have several stumps, show every one at the quote, and ask whether the price drops for each one after the first.
Before the day
Mark each stump that is going and clear rocks, hoses and toys from around them. If you know where sprinkler lines or a pipe to the house run, mark those too.
Grinding throws chips, so move cars, pots and outdoor furniture away from the area, and let neighbours know if a stump sits near their fence.
