Overview
About Stump Grinding
A cut stump left in the ground blocks anything you want to do with that part of the garden, and digging one out by hand takes the surrounding soil with it. Grinding chews the stump and the top of the root plate down below finished ground level, which leaves you free to turf, plant or pave across it. The grindings can be raked back into the void or taken away.

The process
How the job runs
- 1
Check what is around and under it
Services, cables and pipes near a stump matter, because a grinder will not tell the difference between a root and a cable. We check before starting.
- 2
Clear access to the stump
Soil and stone are cleared off the top of the stump, since grinding into buried grit is what wrecks the teeth.
- 3
Grind out
The stump and the upper root plate are ground down past finished ground level, so nothing is left to interfere with what goes on top.
- 4
Backfill or remove
Grindings either go back into the hole and get topped with soil, or they are carted away if you want clean ground.
The price
Stump Grinding costs
No two jobs price the same, and anyone quoting over the phone without seeing it is guessing. These are the things that actually move the number, and the visit to work them out is free.
- The diameter of the stump, which is the main driver
- How many stumps there are
- Access for the grinder, especially through a narrow side gate
- Whether the grindings are backfilled or taken away
