What Is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding uses a powerful machine with a rotating cutting wheel to grind the remaining tree stump into small wood chips. This process removes the visible stump and reduces the potential for unsightly regrowth and hazards. The wood chips can be removed or reused as mulch in your garden area.
Our Stump Grinding Process
1. Site Inspection
We assess the stump’s size, location, and access, checking for any obstacles or utilities nearby before work begins.
2. Grinding
Using specialist machinery, we grind the stump down below ground level — typically around 6–12 inches or deeper if required for future use or landscaping.
3. Root Considerations
Roots remaining after grinding will gradually decay naturally. If you’re planning new planting or construction, we can adjust our approach to best suit your plans.
4. Cleanup & Finish
We clear wood chips and debris, and if needed, backfill and level the area so it’s ready for turfing, planting, or further landscaping.
