WHAT IS TREE STUMP GRINDING

Tree stump grinding removes tree stumps by grinding down the main tree stump to below ground level and removing the main roots. Our stump-grinding removal machinery works by chipping away at the wood using a rotating cutting disc which grinds the stump and the tree's roots into small wood chips.

Our most asked questions?

  • Does the stump grinder make a lot of noise/mess?

    As tree stump grinding involves loud machinery grinding and cutting through hard wood, yes, the process does make a lot of noise. Additionally, there will be a substantial amount of mess created due to woodchips and sawdust being made. We do, however, use protective barriers to prevent damage to your property or any nearby structures and always aim to work quickly and efficiently to ensure that levels of disruption are kept to a minimum.

    Due to the many factors that may influence the cost, such as the location, the size of the stump or stumps, accessibility, and more, there is no average cost for tree stump grinding. We recommend getting in touch for a free no-obligation quote.
  • Will you need access to my home?

    As long as there is substantial external access around your property that we can use to move our equipment and any waste through, we won’t need access inside your home.
  • Can I grind a tree stump myself?

    Although it is possible to grind a tree yourself, due to the dangers linked with using the machinery and the process involved, we recommend contacting an expert to complete the work for you.

What other tree surgery services do you offer?


Pollarding

Pollarding keeps trees and shrubs smaller than they would naturally grow by removing the top of a tree at a specific height, this also encourages multi-stem branching.

Tree stump grinding

We can remove problematic tree stumps by grinding down the main stump to below ground level and removing any extensive root systems with specialist equipment.

Tree crown work

The purpose of tree crown work is to maintain the form and structural integrity of the tree by reducing its height or spread by pruning back the leaders and branch terminals.

Coppicing

Coppicing is a proven traditional woodland management method that focuses on stimulating new tree growth by repeatedly cutting it back to near ground level.

Avant hire

We also now offer our Avant 640 and 755i for hire with timber grab, tree shear attachment, log grapple, and materials bucket.

How long does it take to grind out a tree stump?

How long is a piece of string?! This is entirely dependent on size and location but we have excellent machines and operatives that will make short work of your stumps whatever the situation.

Will stump grinding remove the roots?

As standard, we grind the stump to around six to eight inches below ground level. This means that the tree’s root system will remain underground.

Can I keep the woodchip?

Yes, on request you can keep the woodchip that is created throughout the process. Woodchips are great at filling holes as well as being used as mulch for other plants in your landscape.
