Stump Grinding

Forest Stump is a professional tree stump and root removal business with plenty of experience removing stumps with specialist stump removal equipment

Although tree stumps can be left in the ground after felling this can lead to problems with suckering where new shoots arise from the trunk and roots

Dead stumps can play host to root diseases like Honey fungus which can spread to other plants and trees in the garden and prove be very difficult to eradicate - see Tree Disease

The most effective way of completely removing a stump is by using a stump grinder

The stump grinder we use has a large cutting wheel with teeth which is placed on the stump and lowered progressively until the stump is ground out
The machine is capable of grinding any size stump and can grind to a depth of 24 inches below ground level or can remove the whole stump if necessary

The stump grinder we use is 35 inches wide which is usually sufficient to accommodate most garden gates

Chippings can be left as mulch for the garden or removed from the site if the stump was diseased

The stump hole is the back-filled and the garden left to high standard of tidiness
