Cost to have tall shrubs removed

Question

We have some tall (8-10ft) next to our garage that need to be removed. We would like to put in a new garden, but the shrubs have thick roots (1-2" thick) that are probably going to be too tough to get out ourselves and I don't think it would be good to build a new garden over the roots.

Does anyone know about what it would cost to have these removed. There are a total of 6 that need to be yanked out.

Thank you so much for your help and advice!

Answer 1

cut them to the ground and paint with stump kill.  lay the stems on the grounded pointed away from the house. bury under 2'=3' dirt. add soil and amendments for your new garden. if the shrubs come back they can be a foundation plant or pruned out. what is the name of the shrub?

Answer 2

Depends who you use. If you get a professional company to remove them it will be a lot more expensive than hiring some muscle. Seeing as you do not want to save any of them I would go for the muscle and then find out about hiring a stump grinder and do that bit yourself.
