Stump Removal Services
What is Stump Removal?
We remove entire tree stumps quickly, safely and with the least impact possible to the surrounding environment. If you have a problematic stump lingering in your backyard that has been causing you grief, don’t put it off any longer! One of our most popular tree services, stump grinding, can help you to regain the area occupied by tree stumps.
We grind down the wood, kill off the root system and clear the way for new life and growth. This grants you the space to plant new seedlings, renovate your home or expand your garden. Stump removal services can provide a range of benefits to your home, including a healthier ecosystem, reduced chance of infestations and safer walkways.
THE PROBLEMS WITH STUMPS
Stumps can be one of the trickiest parts of removing a tree. This is why many tree services won’t even bother trying to grind the stump. Instead they will cut down the tree and leave the stump protruding from the ground on your property. Leaving stumps to rot in the ground can cause any number of headaches for residents and property owners.
When left to rot, many stumps will not actually die. This is due to their extensive root systems that continue to bring them nutrients through the soil. The roots instead divert valuable water and resources away from other plants in your garden to keep the stump alive. As the stump pulls in nutrients without any tree to fuel, it becomes a hotbed for infestations of rodents, fungus and disease.
The living root systems of stumps can also create a range of problems beneath the surface of your property. As the roots continue to grow and seek out nutrients, they can push up land and cause cracks in pavement and walls. Removing a stump is the best way to avoid the issues caused by their root systems.
STUMP GRINDING VS TREE STUMP REMOVAL
Rather than using potentially damaging chemical tree stump removal methods and digging bars, we extract the tree stump and kill off the tree roots using robust machines known as stump grinders. Once we remove a tree, we use this piece of powerful equipment to grind down the stump to ground level with its tungsten teeth. This process breaks down the stump into fresh wood chips which can be used as organic mulch for gardens.
Once our team have removed the tree and any hazards, we bring the stump grinder on site.
We then set the grinder’s teeth over the tree stump and begin the process of stump grinding.
As the wood is broken down by the machine, it is turned into mulch derived from organic wood and soil from your garden.
The Tree Surgeon will determine a depth for the machine to ensure that the stump will decay and new vegetation can be planted.
Once completed, the machine and all large materials and waste will be removed from the site.
The premium mulch will be used to fill the hole left by the stump, creating an optimal site for new saplings, vegetation or land use.
A full cleanup of the site is done, leaving the property in a better condition than it started.

FAQ
What is the cost of stump removal services?
Will stump removal kill the roots?
Yes. Once a stump has been dismantled and ground up, the roots can no longer access the nutrients they need to survive and will eventually die off completely. Some species are more resilient than others and may require the assessment of an Arborist to determine the best way to ensure no regrowth can occur.
How long does it take to remove a stump?
Depending on the size and species of the tree, grinding its stump can take as little as 10 minutes, or as long as a couple of hours.
Can you plant a new sapling after stump removal?
While the mulch created from these services can provide quality nutrients in the soil that are great for growth, sometimes the remaining root system needs time to decompose before planting a new sapling. This is dependent on the reasons for removal, tree species and the condition of the soil. Our Arborists can assess the best location for planting new seedlings, which may be directly over the old tree stump roots, or a few feet away to give the new roots space to grow.
BENEFITS OF STUMP REMOVAL
A stump grinding service gives you back control of your garden. Once you remove that obstructive protrusion, with its pesky root system that had become a home for rodents, you can use the space however you want. Your home will look nicer, your plants will thank you for the extra water in the soil and you won’t have to worry about people tripping on the stump every-time they walk past.
Once we have completed the tree stump removal service (We’re your local “Stump removal near me” company), the wood chips can be used as mulch for your garden to help retain water and nutrients. After the tree stump has been removed and the hole has been filled in, you gain the greatest benefit of the stump grind – more space. This extra space on your property can be used to renovate your home, grow new saplings or as free space to enjoy on your property.
