Tree Stump Grinding

Efficient stump grinding to clear your space and finish the job properly.

Once a tree has been removed, the remaining stump can be unsightly, inconvenient, or even hazardous. At Chichester Tree Solutions (CTS), we offer professional stump grinding services to fully eliminate tree stumps and restore your outdoor space to a clean, usable condition.

What Is Stump Grinding?

Stump grinding is the process of mechanically grinding down a tree stump using specialist equipment. The stump is reduced to below ground level, removing the visible portion and a significant amount of the root flare. This method is faster, less invasive, and more cost-effective than traditional stump removal or excavation.

Why Remove a Tree Stump?

There are several reasons to grind out a tree stump:

  • Safety: Prevents tripping hazards for children, pedestrians, or lawn equipment

  • Pest Prevention: Reduces the risk of fungal growth, rot, or insect infestations

  • Aesthetics: Creates a cleaner, more attractive landscape

  • Usable Space: Frees up land for planting, turfing, paving, or development

  • Regrowth Control: Prevents shoots or suckers from sprouting from remaining roots

Our Process

Our stump grinding service is fast, tidy, and effective, with minimal disturbance to your garden or property:

  1. Initial Assessment
    We inspect the size, type, and location of the stump to determine the best approach and access requirements. If the stump is close to buildings, walls, or underground services, we take extra precautions.

  2. Quotation & Planning
    A clear quote is provided, with advice on the depth and extent of grinding needed depending on your future landscaping plans.

  3. Stump Grinding Work
    Using powerful, modern stump grinders, we reduce the stump to well below ground level—typically 6 to 12 inches deep—grinding the wood into small, biodegradable chips.

  4. Clean-Up & Disposal
    We clear away excess grindings, level the area, and can backfill the hole with soil or woodchips if requested, leaving the site safe and tidy.

  5. Optional Aftercare
    We can advise on soil restoration, replanting options, or turfing the cleared area depending on your needs.
