Why mechanical removal instead of grinding?

Grinding only removes the top 6–12 inches. The root ball stays in the ground, decays slowly, and often re-sprouts. Mechanical removal pulls the entire root system in one pass.

How much does stump removal cost?

Most single stumps run a flat per-stump rate. Multi-stump jobs are priced as a project. Call 317-206-0414 for a fast quote.

Do you backfill the hole?

Yes. We backfill with on-site soil or bring in fill dirt or topsoil, then grade smooth for grass or gravel.

Can you remove a stump near a fence or building?

Usually yes — our excavator works in tight access and we pull stumps without disturbing the surrounding area.

Do you haul the stump away?

Yes, hauling is included. We load with the skid steer into our own dump truck.

Stump Removal with Skid Steer & Excavator — Central Indiana

Mann Hauling pulls stumps mechanically using a skid steer and excavator across Central Indiana — no chemical kill, no waiting months for decay, no shallow grind that leaves the root ball behind.

Stump grinders only shave the top 6–12 inches. The root system stays, sinks, and grows fungus. Mechanical removal with an excavator and skid steer pulls the entire stump and root ball in one pass, leaving clean soil ready for grass, gravel, or a new pad.

We handle single stumps in tight backyards, multi-stump fence-line clearing, storm-damaged trees, and full property clearing with stump removal included.
