Stump Grinding

Full stump removal below ground level — reclaim your garden.

/ Overview

What's included

A leftover stump is more than an eyesore — it's a trip hazard, a home for honey fungus and a barrier to replanting or paving. Our grinders take stumps down to 200–300mm below ground, leaving you a clean, usable surface.

  • Grinders from 21" narrow-access up to large tracked machines
  • Removal to 300mm below ground level as standard
  • Suitable for lawns, borders, driveways and paved areas
  • Grindings backfilled or removed, your choice
  • Underground service scans available on request

/ How we work

Our process

01

Access check

We confirm gate widths and ground type to choose the right machine.

02

Service scan

On hard-landscaped sites we scan for cables and pipes before grinding.

03

Grind out

The stump and main lateral roots are ground to chip in a single visit.

04

Reinstate

Hole backfilled with grindings or topsoil, ready for turf, planting or paving.

/ FAQs

Common questions

How deep do you grind?

300mm below ground level as standard, deeper if you're paving or building on the spot.

Can I replant in the same place?

We recommend removing the grindings and bringing in fresh topsoil if you're planting another tree there.
