Answered for Greenwood, Johnson County.
Stump Grinding in Greenwood runs about $100 to $700, averaging near $250. Median year built is 1996 across 27,721 housing units (ACS 2019-2023, tables B25034/B25035). About 27% predates 1980 — including a small pre-1940 Old Town core — but roughly 42% went up after 2000. The practical result: 70-to-90-year-old shade trees hanging over Old Town roofs, and 10-to-20-year-old nursery stock in the subdivisions east of I-65. In Old Town Greenwood, Green Valley and Imperial Hills, access is usually the swing factor rather than the tree itself.

Two separate canopies in one city. The pre-1960 blocks around Old Town and near County Line Road hold Greenwood's only genuinely mature shade trees — just 9% of the housing stock predates 1960 — while the subdivisions east of I-65 are 2000s-era plantings still small enough to prune off a ladder. Ash is functionally gone: emerald ash borer has been confirmed in Indiana since April 2004 and is now in all 92 counties.
Poorly drained Brookston silty clay loam covers most of the flat ground with somewhat poorly drained Crosby silt loam on the west side, and only the creek slopes carry better-drained Miami and Fox loams — heavy wet clay that keeps root plates shallow and wide, so saturated-ground windstorms tip trees over instead of snapping them.
Diameter at the widest point, which is what most crews price on. Grinding depth — enough to seed over, or enough to build on. Access for the grinder, gate width in particular. Surface roots, which are extra beyond the stump itself.
