Stump Grinding & Root Removal
Tree stumps can become a real problem long after a tree has been removed. They often create trip hazards, attract unwanted regrowth and prevent you from replanting or using the space properly.
Our team provides professional stump grinding and root removal across Hampshire for homeowners, landlords and local businesses, using specialist machinery to deal with stumps of all sizes and in all locations.
We always carry out stump removal safely and with minimal disruption. Once the stump is ground out, the area is left ready for replanting, landscaping, paving or general garden use.
If your stump is the result of recent tree removal and tree felling, we can take care of the process from start to finish to leave your site completely clear and usable.
Where deeper root systems are still active, we will always advise on the best and most practical solution based on the tree species, location and your future plans.
Why Stump Grinding Is the Best Option
Stump grinding is the preferred method for removing a tree stump because it’s fast, tidy and doesn’t involve digging up large sections of your garden.
A specialist stump grinder cuts the stump down below ground level, breaking it into wood chippings. This prevents regrowth, reduces tripping risks and allows you to reclaim the space straight away.
Stump removal is also a practical way to avoid issues with pests or fungi that often develop in old stumps left to rot.
Whether the stump is in the middle of a lawn, close to a fence or tucked into a tight spot, we have equipment suited to awkward and hard-to-reach areas.
How it works
Initial Assessment
We start by assessing the size, species and location of the stump.
This helps us choose the correct equipment and check for potential issues such as underground services, nearby walls or restricted access.
If the stump is part of a larger project, such as a site clearance or garden renovation, we may also recommend additional support through our wider
tree care services.
Stump Grinding or Full Stump Removal
We carry out the grinding process safely and efficiently, reducing the stump to below ground level so it cannot regrow.
If deeper root removal is required, for example when you are planning to install fencing, foundations, patios or replant trees, we will remove the necessary root sections and advise on the most practical approach.
For sites affected by storm damage or fallen trees, this service can also be combined with our
emergency tree work.
Clearing Up the Area
Once the stump has been ground out, the chippings can either be:
• Left on-site for mulching
• Removed and disposed of
• Levelled back into the ground
We leave the area tidy, level and ready to be used immediately.
If needed, we can also advise on follow-up work such as replanting or preparing the surrounding trees through our
tree pruning and hedge trimming or general maintenance services.

FAQs
How long does stump grinding take?
Most stumps can be removed within an hour or two, depending on size and location. Larger stumps or those in awkward spots may take longer.
Can you remove the roots as well?
We can remove or reduce roots where needed. Some deeper root systems can’t be removed entirely without major excavation, but we’ll always let you know what’s practical.
Will the stump grow back after grinding?
No. Grinding the stump below ground level prevents regrowth for the vast majority of species.
Can stump grinding be done close to walls or fences?
Yes. We use equipment specifically designed for tight access and confined areas.
What happens to the wood chippings?
They can be left as mulch or removed. Most customers choose to keep them for beds and borders.
Can you grind a stump on a slope or uneven ground?
Yes. Most stump grinders are designed to work safely on gentle slopes and uneven ground. During the initial assessment we check the terrain and choose the right machine for the job. If the slope is particularly steep, we’ll explain the safest options and how we can approach it.
Do I need to mark or locate underground services before stump grinding?
If there’s a chance of pipes, cables or drains near the stump it’s helpful to let us know. We can usually identify the safest working area during our assessment, and we’ll avoid anything that may cause damage. If needed, we can adjust the depth of grinding or discuss alternative options.
