Ready for Replanting
After grinding your tree stump, we’ll leave the area ready for a redo – such as replanting or reseeding. The chippings left from the removal make an excellent, nitrogen-rich mulch for regrowth. As an additional service, we can advise on how to repurpose or fill the hole left behind.
How We Remove Tree Stumps
Using our industry leading equipment, we grind the tree stump down below ground level. This removes the root ball of the tree, and allows the remaining roots to decay underground. In comparison to using a chainsaw, stump grinding shreds the tree into chippings that leave a smooth service behind.
Contrary to common belief, killing a tree stump with herbicide or poison will not effectively remove it. It will eventually rot, making it more susceptible to fungus or pest infestations. Using a grinder is the best way to ensure that your stump is completely removed and not likely to cause more severe issues down the line.
The process is quick and precise, with minimal disruption to you and your property. By throughly removing the tree stump, we can mitigate the risk of fungus, rot or pests infesting the area.
Keeping Things Clean and Tidy
It’s always our aim to leave your property as we found it. Chippings from the stump removal will naturally mix with the soil to fill up the hole left behind. This forms a nutrient mulch to fertilise the soil. Removal of stump chippings can also be arranged at an additional cost.
Popular Questions about our Stump Grinding Services
How much does it cost?
Pricing for tree stump removal will vary based on location, size, accessibility, and many other factors. Our costs start from £75 +VAT, but vary up to £500 depending on the scale and complexity of the work required. The best way to get an accurate quotation is to pop us a Whatsapp with a photo of your tree stump. Watch out for companies offering a cheaper price as they may lack the qualifications, equipment and experience to carry out the job to a quality standard.
Is it okay to use stump killer?
Stump killer may occasionally be successful, but the risks associated with using it can often outweigh the positives. The chemicals within it are highly toxic to wildlife, plants, and humans. Pets and children must be kept well away from the area, and it’s advisable to wear gloves and a mask during application. This doesn’t stop the herbicide contaminating the soil, which may have an impact on the growth and health of neighbouring plants. It’s also important to note that stump killer will not have a speedy effect on the wood from the trunk itself. The main aim of using this chemical is to prevent regrowth and promote the stump rotting process. As the stump rots, it’s likely to attract insects or fungus, and decomposition will often take a long period of time to progress.
How long does it take?
Using a grinder makes the process a lot quicker than other stump extraction methods, with an average time of two hours. Duration may vary based on the stump’s diameter and accessibility. The process is designed to be non-intrusive, quiet and effective to have minimal impact on your day.
Will the tree grow back after being ground down?
Depending on the species of tree, some can regrow if not removed properly. We always remove the root ball to eliminate this problem. However, we offer a free recall service just in case.
Is it messy?
Stump grinding can be an untidy process, but our team will do their best to leave your garden as they found it after removing your stump. Chippings and dust from the stump will be gathered and spread over the site of extraction to form a mulch for the soil to regrow. We may leave some uneven ground from the extraction site, but are happy to level this out for an additional cost.
I have a stump that is right up against a wall – can you remove it?
Whilst most stumps can be removed within a few millimetres of a wall without damaging the brickwork, it is not always possible to get the root system out due to the footing.
