Our Stump Grinding & Removal Services
Stump Grinding (Fast & Efficient Removal)
Best for: Removing stumps quickly without excessive digging out of tree roots.
Stump grinding is the most effective way to remove tree stumps, leaving the area clear for replanting, landscaping, or construction. Our service includes:
- Grinding the stump down below ground level.
- Eliminating tripping hazards & preventing regrowth.
- Leaving a clean, level surface ready for replanting or paving.
How deep do we grind stumps? Typically 6–12 inches below ground, but we can go deeper if required.
Full Stump & Root Removal
Best for: Preventing deep-rooted trees from re-sprouting.
In some cases, complete stump and root system removal is necessary, especially if:
- You are replanting in the same spot.
- You need to install patios, driveways, or foundations.
- The stump is causing subsidence or structural issues.
So which is better, stump grinding or full tree stump removal? Grinding is faster, but full removal is best for deep-rooted trees like oak and beech.
Multiple Stump Removal (For Gardens & Development Sites)
Best for: Large properties, woodlands, or commercial sites.
If you have multiple tree stumps on your land, we offer:
- Bulk stump grinding for gardens, estates, and commercial properties.
- Site clearance for developers and landscapers.
- Tree root removal to prevent interference with new planting or structures.
Hedge & Shrub Stump Removal
Best for: Clearing old hedgerows for replanting or landscaping.
Hedge and shrub stumps can quickly regrow if left untreated. Our specialist removal service ensures:
- Complete removal of hedge stumps & roots to prevent regrowth.
- Soil restoration & levelling for new planting or turfing.
Planning to replant? We can advise on replacement hedging and tree species for Sussex gardens.
