Tree Surgeons - Stump Grinding

If a tree has been cut down to ground level, the portion remaining in the ground is known as the stump. You may want to remove the stump if it is taking up space, creating a trip hazard or preventing you from landscaping the area. If a tree is already being felled, arranging stump removal at the same time may be more cost-effective than having the work carried out separately.

Methods of dealing with a tree stump include digging it out, using a suitable stump treatment to encourage decomposition or using a stump grinder. You can also hire a tree surgeon or stump grinding contractor to carry out the work.

Tree Stump Removal by Stump Grinder

A stump grinder uses a powered cutting wheel to grind the stump into small pieces. Machines are available in different sizes, with smaller models able to access many domestic gardens while larger equipment may require wider access.

The resulting woodchips may be used as mulch or to help fill the area left after grinding. Stump grinders are powerful pieces of machinery, so anyone considering hiring one should make sure they understand how to operate it safely and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

The cost of hiring a tree surgeon for stump grinding will depend on factors such as the size of the stump, access, surrounding roots and the depth of grinding required. As a rough guide, stump grinding may cost around £50-£100 per stump.

Stump grinding does not usually remove the entire root system. Instead, the stump is ground below the surrounding ground level to a specified depth.
