Stump Grinding & Root Work

Grinding below ground level, full stump removal, root pruning and root barriers.

A leftover stump is a trip hazard and can send up new shoots for years. We grind stumps below ground level so you can lay turf, plant again or build over the spot.

When a project needs the whole root plate out, or roots are pushing against foundations and drains, we handle that too.

What we offer

Stump grinding

Mechanical grinding to remove stumps below ground level. It prevents regrowth, removes trip hazards and prepares the ground for replanting or landscaping.

Stump removal

Full extraction of the stump and root plate where construction, re-landscaping or deep planting needs it.

Root pruning

Targeted pruning of problem roots to prevent structural damage, improve tree health or prepare for construction.

Root barrier installation

A buried barrier that stops roots reaching foundations, driveways or underground services.

FAQs

Common questions

How deep do you grind?

Usually 150 to 300mm below ground, deeper if you plan to plant or build. We'll agree a depth before we start.

Can your grinder get into my back garden?

Our compact grinder fits through most garden gates. Tell us the narrowest point on the way in when you book.

What happens to the chippings?

We can leave them as mulch, backfill the hole with topsoil, or take everything away.
