Frequently Asked Questions

What is stump grinding?

The stump grinding process involves using specialised equipment that will grind the stump down, reducing it to chips. Grinding is usually one of the fastest ways to get rid of a stump, removing the stump from sight and improving the look of your property. Without the eyesore and tripping hazard of a stubborn stump, you will have a blank canvas and can use the area as you choose, growing new grass, planting flowers, or building a new structure nearby.

Will the roots carry on growing?

No, roots cannot resprout after the stump has been ground down. The roots will slowly start to deteriorate over time, decomposing into the surrounding soil without leaving any vacuum effect.

What happens to the stump grindings?

Once a stump has been ground down and is a pile of wood chips, the chips can be used as mulch and will compost down, feeding the soil. Unless requested during quoting, the waste is usually left in a pile where the stump was, as this area may sink as the ground settles.

How are tree stumps removed?

There are various ways to remove a stump, each requiring a different approach:

  • Manual removal: Remove soil around the stump to expose and loosen the roots, sever them, uncover the taproot, and then pry the stump from the ground. This can take up to 12 hours if done by hand.
  • Using a grinder: A stump grinder is a mechanical chisel that turns the stump into wood chips and sawdust. The time required depends on stump size and wood hardness, usually between 1-8 hours.

Can I remove a tree stump myself?

If you want to save some money, you can attempt to remove a stump yourself. However, it often takes much longer than using a professional service.
