Stump grinding services

Do you have an old stump in your garden that takes up a lot of space? Have you tried to remove it? It's not easy is it, those roots are deep. Call a professional stump grinding team in to do the job properly.

We have machines capable of grinding out any size stump including: narrow access grinders for small spaces and large track grinders for those bigger jobs.

Natural decay is the preferred option

A felled or wind blown tree leaves a stump to naturally decay. This slow process benefits many invertebrates and fungi species. The stump provides a valuable dead wood habitat and should be the preferred method of stump treatment where possible.

Practical solution to stump grinding

There are various reasons why stumps should be removed including:

  • Where conditions favour unwanted pests and pathogens
  • To clear the area for new planting
  • In a formal garden setting where a degrading stump is undesirable
  • H & S issue where the stump is a trip hazard to people or animals
  • To build, lay a driveway or lawn on the site of the stump

Site assessment by tree experts

Some trees will re-grow from the retained stump. This is desirable in some situations such as coppicing, or to form a barrier, habitat enhancement.
We offer advice on the management of re-growth on a site where the natural growth rate of the tree unchecked would cause problems above or below ground level.

Don't struggle with a stump, call us to remove it. That's what we do
