Stump grinding removes the visible tree stump by grinding it down below ground level using a specialised machine.

The stump is reduced to mulch, which can either be left behind or removed depending on your preference.

Grinding the stump below ground level allows the area to be:

  • Re-grassed

  • Landscaped

  • Replanted

  • Paved or built on

Unlike digging the stump out completely, stump grinding is faster, less disruptive, and avoids damaging surrounding areas of your property.
