We specialise in tree stump removal for the commercial and domestic market. How does it work?

The stump grinder teeth revolve at high speed and are moved from side to side along the tree stump chipping away at the stump inch by inch grinding either the whole stump or just the top section of the stump away.

Why have tree stumps ground out?

There are many reasons for having the tree stumps removed, many people think that after the tree has been felled the stump will naturally die but in most cases this is not true, there are a number of tree species that will continue to grow even after they have been felled to ground level creating a nuisance for the owner, other reasons include trip hazards as they sit just above ground level, honey fungus which can spread disease to other trees and plants is also a big reason, chemical treatment is slow to work or takes too long, most commonly the area where the stump is, simply wants replanting, block paving, turfing or building works etc as soon as possible.

Is it not just as easy to dig the stump out?

In some cases yes, providing the circumstances are right, but digging stumps out can cause a lot more ground disturbance and a lot more work! Not to mention what to do with the stumps afterwards, by grinding the stumps out the mulch that is created can be filled back into the hole or used around the garden / site.

Will the tree regrow?

Usually any stump we grind is destroyed completly. There are one or two exceptions that you may get the odd shoot from a piece of root but even these can be easily managed with advice from us. In either case the area can be utilised for that all important project.

Is there any mess left?

JG Stump Removal are always committed to customer satisfaction, therefore we pride ourselves on a tidy job, leaving the site clean and tidy after the grinding operation, to enable us to cause minimal mess we use shields, boarding and sheeting to prevent chippings going to unwanted places.

What if I don't want the mulch created?

If you tell us before the grinding takes place we can usually take it away with minimum extra cost.

I only have narrow access is that a problem?

Usually not as the stump grinder is only 35 inches wide allowing it to gain access through most garden gates, if the access is too narrow an alternative route is usually easily found via neighbouring properties.

Will you come first to assess the work?

Yes, we usually call first to allow us to see the work ahead of the operations, this allows us to measure up for access, see if there are any obstacles in the way, or if we need any extra equipment or tools that may help the job run smoothly on the day!

How much does it cost?

Each job will cost different amounts; this depends on the size of the stump, how many stumps there are and how tall the stumps are. All quotes are free with 'no obligation' and can be given in writing.
