The service

How we remove a tree stump

Stump grinding is the quickest way to remove a tree stump without digging it out. The grinder cuts the stump away below ground level, so there is no large hole, no winching and very little disturbance to the garden around it.

Our standard grinding depth is approximately 8" (20cm) below ground level, which suits turf, planting beds and most landscaping. Where a job needs it, we can grind deeper or to another specification, as long as it is practical on the site.

The wood chips are normally raked back into the hole. If you would rather have them taken away, we can quote for removal separately.

What we remove

Stumps we regularly grind out

  • Single stumps

    One stump left behind after a tree has come down, in a front or rear garden.

  • Multiple stumps

    Several stumps from one garden, such as a line of conifers or an old hedge.

  • Large stumps

    Big mature stumps such as cedar, horse chestnut and beech, reduced and ground out.

  • Conifers and hardwoods

    Softwood conifers through to dense hardwoods. The species affects how long grinding takes.

  • New and old stumps

    Freshly felled stumps, and older stumps that have been in the ground for years.

  • Ready for what comes next

    Ground cleared so you can lay turf, replant, or extend a patio or bed.

5 out of 5 stars

Mike and his dad came around today to grind out several extremely large stumps and structural roots. I couldn’t be happier. Both of them are very professional gents who took the time and care to ensure this job was done perfectly.
