Stump grinding

A stump left in the ground is a trip hazard, a honey fungus host and the reason your new turf has a dead patch in it.

The grinder takes the stump down below soil level — deeper if you are laying a patio or planting straight over the top. Depth is the thing to agree in advance: 150mm is enough for turf, considerably more for hard landscaping or a replacement tree.

On big root plates the crane earns its place, lifting the whole mass out rather than grinding for half a day.

Fair questions

How deep do you go?
Around 150mm for turf. Deeper for paving or replanting — tell us the plan and we will grind to suit.
Will it damage my drains?
We check for services before the grinder goes near the ground. Anything unmarked and shallow is a risk we will flag first.
Can you replant in the same spot?
Not straight into grindings — they rob nitrogen as they rot. We dig out and backfill with topsoil where a new tree is going in.
