Why & How to Remove a Tree Stump

Tree stumps can take up considerable space, look unsightly, and contribute to the development and spread of fungal infections, such as Honey Fungus. They also attract bees, wasps, and other insects looking for a place to nest. Additionally, stumps can become a safety hazard, increasing the risk of slip and fall injuries, and can cause serious, expensive damage to grass-cutting machinery.

Using our specialist machines, the stump is cut into small pieces of wood (chips) by a series of tungsten-tipped teeth fitted to a fast-spinning metal wheel. The stump is ground down to a minimum of 300mm below the surrounding ground level, enabling the area to be reused for future planting, re-seeding, building, or other landscaping projects.

Removing the stump prevents re-growth and eliminates the possibility of fungal growth. On completion of stump grinding, the hole left from the stump will be filled with the grinding chippings, which were produced during the grinding process. These can be reused creatively around the garden, for mulching flower/shrub beds, on paths, or to improve soil structure.

Don't forget, we also carry out tree stump poisoning, using safe and effective ECO-PLUG technology to prevent future growth.
