Stump Grinding
Stump grinding is the process of removing a tree stump to below ground level by use of powerful machinery. The machine has a rotating, cutting wheel with blunt, hardened teeth, that chip away at the stump, reducing it to a pile of wood shavings and freshly turned soil.

Why do we grind out the stump?
When felling a tree, there will always be an amount of stump left on show, as a chainsaw can only be used above ground level.
If the stump is left, some species of tree will attempt to re-grow from this stump, creating a bushy growth of new shoots that will continue to grow into new trees.
If left untouched and the stump does not resprout, eventually the stump will rot away, but it will take many years.
If you do not have unlimited time to wait for nature to do its thing, maybe you’ve got big plans for the space – like re-planting or extending your driveway, you will need the stump removing completely. To achieve this, we recommend our professional stump removal service, with a choice of machines to suit any size and location of stump.
Grinding out a tree stump results in the stump being reduced to a large quantity of wood shavings. There are many uses for this around the job site, like backfilling the hole from which the stump came. Alternatively, it can be used as an organic mulch or soil improver for around your garden and flowerbeds. It is also possible for our team to remove the excess debris.
How much does stump grinding cost.
As with removing a tree, there are many factors at play including the size and species of the stump and whether a suitable size machine can safely access the location. It is not always possible to drive a tracked machine into place, so a smaller machine may have to be carried through a house or lifted into position.
