Why an old stump is worth removing
Stumps take years to rot away on their own. In the meantime they get in the way of lawns, paths and new planting, can send up fresh shoots, and are easy to trip over or catch with a mower.
Stump grinding breaks the stump down into chippings, below ground level where that is suitable for the site, so the area can be levelled and reused. Where a stump needs to come out completely, or grinding is not suitable, we will explain the options before giving you a price.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How far down is a stump ground?
Stumps are ground below ground level where that is suitable for the site. The right depth depends on the stump and what you plan to do with the area, so we agree it with you before the work starts.
Will the roots be removed too?
Grinding deals with the stump and the main root area directly around it. Roots further out are usually left in the ground to break down naturally. If you are planning building work, tell us so we can talk about what is needed.
What happens to the grindings?
The grindings can be used to fill the hole left by the stump, or taken away so the area can be topped with soil and reseeded. We agree which before we start.
Can you remove a stump from a tree someone else cut down?
Yes. We can deal with old stumps whoever felled the tree. Send us a photo and let us know roughly how wide it is.
Is there anything you need to know before grinding?
Yes: anything buried near the stump, such as pipes, cables or drains, and how we get to it. Gateways, steps and narrow paths all affect access, so a photo of the route is helpful.
How much does stump grinding cost?
It depends mainly on the size of the stump, how many there are and how easy they are to reach. Send us a photo with a rough width and we will give you a free quotation.
