We had a 15-year-old apple tree cut down last month, but the stump is still there—about 40cm diameter. It's right in the middle of where we want to lay new patio stones. A neighbour said we could just dig it out ourselves, but I'm worried about roots going deep. What's a realistic budget to have a professional remove it properly?
1% fee. Verified providers respond in under an hour. First 3 tasks free.
Tree stump removal in the Netherlands typically costs €150–€400 depending on diameter, depth, and root system. A 40cm stump like yours would likely fall in the €200–€350 range. Professionals use either excavation (fastest, €250–€400) or grinding (neater, €150–€300). Grinding leaves roots in place but is better for patios. Get 2–3 quotes—prices vary by region and soil type. You don't need a permit for stump removal on your own property. Post your job on AstraNL to compare verified local quotes in Utrecht and see exactly what each pro recommends for your patio plans.
