Though you’ve successfully removed the tree, you are now left with an ugly tree stump in your yard, which can become an eyesore in your new or established garden.

One of the best ways to remove the stump is to have it ground out. Stump grinding helps prepare the ground for landscaping, including redefining your garden edges, paving and laying turf.

We have the expertise and the right equipment to remove the stump safely and efficiently. Our range of stump grinders can grind out most stumps regardless of shape and size.

Why not excavate?

Earthmoving equipment is heavier, wider and far less manoeuvrable than our specialised stump grinders. Excavators are often restricted by access, their tyres or tracks can tear up your grass and leave marks on or even damage your paving. Additionally using earthmoving equipment can be highly destructive to your existing gardens possibly cracking retaining walls and damaging boundary fences.

Using earthmoving equipment to excavate a tree stump is almost always a far more expensive option and you're often still stuck with the hassle of disposing of any large excavated stumps. Comparing this to the stump grindings we produce, which make fantastic garden mulch, the choice is obvious.

When to excavate?

Excavating stumps is necessary when preparing foundations for buildings. In this situation, it is important to remove all material such as tree stumps and roots that may later decompose and effect the structural stability of the concrete foundations. If you have such a requirement, please contact either a local earth moving contractor or your builder who may know of contractors they can recommend.
