Commercial-scale stump grinding in Canby, MN
Commercial and city-property stump grinding across the west side — Canby, Porter, and the surrounding acreages.
What we actually do in Canby
commercial lots, schools, churches, and city-property stumps
Canby is the town on our western route where the phone rings for the jobs a homeowner wouldn't normally call about. Property managers with a row of stumps behind an apartment building. The church on the east end that had four elms come out last fall. The school district with a summer punch list of grounds work. The city clearing a boulevard project. Canby is a commercial hub for western Yellow Medicine County — around 1,600 residents, but the actual footprint it services (farms, feed operations, hospital, schools, retail on US-75) is much bigger. That shows up in our schedule as multi-stump commercial jobs where per-stump pricing matters more than a single-tree quote. We drive out MN-68 from Marshall, usually with a route that also hits Porter or Ivanhoe, and we're set up to spend a full day on-site when the work is there. If you manage property in Canby and have more than three stumps waiting, this is the page where you should just call and get a real number rather than guessing off an online calculator.

The details
How stump grinding is actually priced (Canby edition)
Every Canby caller wants to know one thing first: what's this going to cost? Real answer — three variables set the number.
1) Diameter at ground level. A 10-inch stump is a 15-minute grind; a 36-inch cottonwood at the base is closer to an hour. Diameter drives more of the price than anything else.
2) Count. Per-stump pricing drops sharply after the first one. One stump might be $125; five stumps in the same yard might be $65 each because we're already on-site with the machine warmed up. Property managers, churches, and schools with a punch list save the most this way.
3) Access. A stump 20 feet inside a fenced backyard with a 36-inch gate is easy. A stump behind a locked commercial dumpster enclosure, or one where we need to lay ground protection across a lawn to reach it, adds time. Nothing crazy — we just need to see it.
For Canby, we quote most jobs over the phone or from a couple photos. Commercial jobs get a walkthrough on-site before we book.
