Stump Removal
Stumps removed below ground level, ready for immediate replanting or new paving.
Using a stump grinder, we take the stump down below ground level and clear the resulting chip, leaving a level, workable area behind. It's often carried out alongside a tree removal, or booked on its own to finish off an old stump left over from work done elsewhere.
What's Included
A straightforward two-part job, done properly.
The stump is ground down below ground level using a mechanical grinder, removing the visible stump and the bulk of the root plate directly beneath it.
The resulting wood chip is cleared and the area levelled off, leaving ground that's ready for turf, planting or paving.
Our Process
Send photos and a brief description, or a postcode, and we'll provide a fast estimate.
We agree the grinding depth and check access to the stump, including any nearby paths, beds or driveways.
The stump is ground out below ground level, with surrounding surfaces protected throughout.
Chip is cleared and the area levelled off, left ready for replanting or paving.
