Stump Grinding & Removal

First, a free survey and fixed quote: we check access, anything buried nearby, and how deep the grind needs to go for what you are planning. Replanting or building over the spot needs a deeper grind than returfing.

Then the grind itself: the stump is machined out in controlled passes, well below ground level. Narrow-access machinery fits through a standard garden gate, so enclosed back gardens are rarely a problem.

Finally the site is tidied. Grindings are cleared away or left as mulch, whichever you prefer, and the ground is left clean and level.

Four things: the stump’s diameter at ground level, which is the biggest factor; access, since a stump reached through a garden gate costs less than one behind a wall; the number of stumps, because several ground in one visit reduces the price per stump; and the species, as hardwoods and wide-spreading roots take longer to grind.

Whatever the answer, the quote is fixed before work starts. If you are having a tree removed, ask for the stump price at the same time; having both done together costs less than two visits.
