Stump Grinding in Chichester

Why Stump Grinding Matters

If you’ve had a tree removed, the stump it leaves behind can quickly become more than just an eyesore. Here are the main reasons most people choose to have stumps ground out:

• Safety – Old stumps are a tripping hazard, even if you know your garden well. Grinding them out removes the risk altogether.

• Appearance – A stump will always draw attention for the wrong reasons. If you’ve worked hard on your garden, the last thing you want is a rotting lump sitting in the middle of it.

• Garden Health – Dead stumps and roots can attract fungi and disease (like honey fungus), which can spread to healthy plants. They can also send up unwanted new shoots.

We can also include stump grinding as part of a bigger site clearance if you’re preparing land for other work.

What to Expect When We Grind a Stump

When we come out, we’ll bring one of our specialist stump grinding machines. These range from compact grinders that fit through a garden gate to heavy-duty machines designed for large sites. The cutter head has tough, offset teeth that chip the stump away quickly and efficiently.

It’s powerful work, so it should only be carried out by a qualified professional. Our team is trained and certified with NPTC, Lantra and City & Guilds, so you can be confident the job will be done safely and properly.

We also make sure to leave everything neat and tidy. We’ll usually set up protective screens to stop wood chips scattering, and in most cases, we use the leftover chips to fill the hole. That way, the remaining roots can break down naturally out of sight.
