DIY vs. Professional Stump Removal Cost

The cost to remove a tree stump yourself is greater than the cost to hire a professional in most cases. Stump removal requires special excavation equipment, which can cost between $250 - $800 per day to rent, depending on the machine. Not to mention, you need to know how to use the equipment. 

When you rent equipment, rental companies typically charge delivery fees and refundable deposit fees, which can affect the final price.
