Get Rid of That Stump for Good

An old stump is awkward to mow around, easy to trip over and in the way of new planting, paths or extensions — and some trees keep throwing up new shoots from the stump for years.

Grinding is the fastest, cleanest way to deal with it. Our machine cuts the stump away to below ground level without digging up the area around it, and it's compact enough for most garden gates. You can keep the chippings as mulch, or we'll take them away and backfill the hole.

Stumps can be ground on the same day as a tree removal, or we can come back for old ones — including stumps left behind by other contractors.

What’s included

We had multiple large trees removed due to Ash Dieback. Some were very hard to access and the Elm team had all the correct equipment to do the job safely. Very good crew of lads.

I am really pleased with your team, the service provided, and the great communication. Cutting the trees made a huge difference in the landscape around the house. I would like to thank you for the work done yesterday and for the team's professionalism. They have left everything so clean that no one could notice that 4 trees were cut. Definitely, I will be in touch with Elm Landscaping and tree surgery services if I need more work done in the future.

Stump Grinding & Removal FAQs

Ask a Question

Normally to below ground level, so turf or topsoil can go back on top. If you plan to build or plant in the same spot, let us know and we’ll go deeper where needed.

Grinding takes out the stump and main root collar, which stops most trees regrowing. A few species can still sucker from the remaining roots, and we’ll tell you if yours is one of them.

Nearly always. Our stump grinder fits through a standard garden gate, and we check the access when we visit.
