Stump Grinding

Stump grinding uses specialised equipment to remove a tree stump from the ground. It reduces trip hazards, tidies up the look of the garden, frees up space and helps stop pests and fungus taking hold in the old stump.

It depends on the size, location and condition of the stump and how much clean up is involved. We do not use fixed rates because every job is different, but we will give you a free quote so you know the cost before we start.

Full removal means digging out the entire root ball, which tears up your landscape. Grinding removes the visible stump and lets the roots break down naturally, so there is less equipment, less mess, less damage and a lower cost.

It depends on the size, access and clean up, but grinding can take as little as ten minutes for a small stump, up to a few hours for a large, well established one.

Not straight away. The wood chips need time to settle and the old roots need time to break down. We can advise on the best time to replant in the same spot.

It improves the look of your garden, frees up space for lawn, planting or parking, removes a trip hazard, and stops the old stump becoming a home for pests and fungus. It also prevents the stump sprouting again.
