Stump Grinding & Removal

Our Area of Expertise

Once a tree has been felled, the remaining stump can become a trip hazard, attract decay or pests, interfere with new planting, or continue to produce unwanted regrowth. Our Stump Grinding & Removal provides a complete and efficient solution, removing stumps to below ground level so the area can be fully reclaimed for replanting, turfing or future landscaping projects.

We operate a range of specialist stump grinders capable of tackling stumps of any size, from small garden specimens to large mature trees. Our machinery is designed to access both open spaces and confined or awkward areas such as narrow pathways, raised beds and tight garden corners, ensuring a thorough and safe removal regardless of location.

During the process, the stump is mechanically ground into fine mulch, which can either be removed from site or retained for use as garden composting material or ground cover. Once grinding is complete, we leave the surface clean, level and ready for immediate use, with no raised roots or obstacles left behind.

Our stump grinding service is fast, effective and minimally disruptive, helping you make full use of your outdoor space without the long-term issues that stumps can cause. If you’re looking to clear an area for landscaping, construction or simple aesthetic improvement, we provide a professional finish that sets the groundwork for your next project.

If your tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or in a Conservation Area, permission is required. We can check this for you and help with the application if needed.
