About $6 per inch of diameter, so a 24 in stump costs roughly $145 to $250. Most jobs have a $150 to $300 minimum, and multiple stumps lower the per-stump price.
Six inches below grade for grass, 12 in if you plan to plant a tree, and 18 in for a large replacement. Deeper costs more but prevents regrowth and settling.
No. It grinds the stump and the root flare. Lateral roots remain and decompose over several years, which is fine unless they are lifting a patio.
If the gate is too narrow, the crew must grind by hand or use a smaller machine, which raises the price by roughly 30 percent.
