​​​​​​​​Why Remove Tree Stumps?
​
Removing a tree stump isn’t just about aesthetics — there are several practical reasons why stump removal is often necessary before reinstating or replanting:
-
Clear Space for New Planting – Stumps and roots can interfere with new tree planting or other vegetation. Removing them gives your new plants the best start.
-
Prevent Regrowth – Leftover stumps can sprout new shoots, causing unwanted regrowth that interferes with planned landscaping.
-
Improve Lawn and Soil Quality – Ground that is free from old root systems is easier to level, reseed, or prepare for turfing.
-
Enhance Garden Safety & Appearance – Stumps can be trip hazards and can harbour pests or fungal decay, impacting the safety and health of your garden.

Our Stump Removal Services
​
We deliver professional stump removal by certified tree surgeons using industry-standard equipment. Our process is efficient, safe, and tailored to your needs — especially where reinstatement or replanting is planned.
Stump Grinding
Grinding is the most common and effective method for removing tree stumps. Using specialist stump grinders we reduce the stump below ground level, creating a clean, even surface ready for reseeding or planting.
Full Stump Extraction
In cases where complete root removal is required (for example, before heavy landscaping or a structural installation), we can excavate the stump and key root systems. This provides the most thorough clearance for new planting or construction.
Site Preparation for Replanting
After stump removal we can help with:
-
Backfilling and ground levelling with suitable soil to create a properly prepared bed for new trees or turf.
-
Advice on planting locations and soil quality to give your new vegetation the best chance of thriving.
How We Work
​
-
Initial Assessment – We assess the stump size, root spread, soil type and access to select the safest and most effective removal method.
-
Stump Removal – Using powerful, modern equipment and trained technicians, we grind or extract the stump with minimal disruption.
-
Clean-Up & Reinstatement Ready – The area is cleared of debris and prepared for your next landscaping step — whether that’s lawn reinstatement, sowing wildflower seed, or planting another tree.
Preparing for Replanting
​
After stump removal, take into account these practical steps:
-
Refill the Hole: We recommend backfilling the ground with fresh topsoil to support healthy new growth.
-
Level & Seed: If replanting grass, properly level the site and sow seed or lay turf soon after removal for best results.
-
Choose Tree Placement Carefully: Consider mature tree height and root spread to prevent future conflicts with structures or services.
