Why remove a Tree Stump?
Once a tree has been felled you are left with the tree stump. By removing the stump it will help prevent suckering and fungal root rots. Whilst the tree stump will rot away naturally it could be necessary to remove it completely, typically for the reasons below:
- Facilitate new lawned areas
- Facilitate creation of new flower beds
- Facilitate the development of construction
- Facilitate the re-planting of a new tree
- Removal of a trip hazard
- Removal of unsightly object in prestigious areas
Stump Grinding
At CHTS, to facilitate stump removal we use a range of stump grinders for Domestic and Commercial use which are able to mechanically grind down the main root leaving just sawdust which is then used to back fill the hole created (unless specified otherwise). Able to grind the stump down to 12 inches below ground level this is the perfect option should you want to relay turf. We have stump grinding machinery that will cater for any root size and guards/ barriers are used to protect your property and garden where necessary.
Key points of our Stump Grinding service:
- Small machines for narrow access
- Large machines for site clearance
- Area CAT scanned for underground services
- Stumps ground up to 12 inches below ground level

Leave it to the Tree Surgeons
Although you can hire your own stump grinder, doing so represents a significant health hazard if you are not 100% sure how to use the machinery safely. Furthermore, can you be sure you have removed/ground the stump correctly? Using a professional tree care service for stump grinding, performed by qualified and experienced tree surgeons is the correct thing to do!
