Stump Grinding

During the process of tree felling or dismantling, the tree stump will normally be left in the ground. The stump will be cut down to as close to the soil level as possible without having to dig below the surface.

Stump grinding can then be carried out to grind the stump to a level between 10 & 30 centimetres below the soil level. The roots below the surface that span away from the trunk will be left undisturbed under the soil.

Stump grinding allows paths or driveways to be laid, or to allow planting or returfing over the specified area.
