Tree Surgery
Grinding out tree stumps below ground so the space can be used again.
A stump left after a tree comes down gets in the way of mowing, paving and planting, and some species send up new shoots from it for years. Grinding takes it out below ground level without digging out the whole root plate.
A stump grinder cuts the stump and the main roots near it down into chippings, below the surface.
Smaller machines go through a garden gate; we will ask about the access width when you send us the job.
Left in the hole as mulch, or taken away and the hole backfilled with soil, depending on what you plan to do with the space.

Leave it if it is out of the way and the tree was healthy. Grind it if you want to use the space, if it is sprouting, or if the tree was killed by honey fungus, which feeds on dead stumps and roots.
Deep enough to get the stump below the surface for what you want to do next, whether that is turf, planting or paving. Tell us the plan and we will grind to suit.
