WHAT IS TREE STUMP GRINDING
We use Specialist machinery known as a stump grinder to Grind the stump shredding it into a mix of soil and wood mulch. This process removes stumps below ground level in most cases deep enough to completely remove the main root ball. We use the arisings created by grinding to back fill the hole these debris naturally break down, adding nutrition back into the soil. With our wide range of equipment and experience, we can remove the smallest to the largest of unwanted tree stumps.

How long does it take to grind out a tree stump?
The length of time it takes to grind a stump will vary depending on the size of the stump and how many we are grinding. The process can take anywhere between 15 minutes and two hours.
Will stump grinding remove the roots?
We typically grind the stump to below ground level to a minimum depth of 350mm. This means that the tree’s root system will remain underground.
Will a tree regrow after stump grinding?
Trees can start to grow back from the remaining stump after tree stump grinding. This process, however, will happen over many years so you’ll have plenty of warning if it is going to grow back.

We typically don’t need access to our client’s homes as long as there is external access around your property that we can use to move our equipment through.
