Stump grinding in Farnham

Stump grinding is by far the most effective and least disruptive method of stump removal. Using specialist grinding machinery, we reduce the stump to well below ground level - typically 150-300mm down, depending on what you intend to do with the area afterwards.

The result is a clean, level surface that can be turfed over, planted into, or used as a base for a new feature.

Why Remove a Tree Stump?

Tree stumps left in the ground cause more problems than most people expect. Aesthetically, they can look unsightly and make mowing and garden maintenance awkward.

More practically, many species - including sycamore, cherry and willow - will continue to put out new growth from the roots if the stump is left in place, meaning the tree keeps coming back unless the stump is removed.

Stumps also attract wood-boring insects and fungal decay, which can spread to other plants and structures nearby. They present a genuine trip hazard, particularly for children and elderly visitors.

And if you're planning any landscaping, construction or new planting in the area, a stump in the ground is simply in the way.

Stump Removal & Grinding FAQs

Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

Most domestic stumps are ground out within an hour or two. Very large stumps, or several in one visit, can take most of a day. Access matters as much as size - a stump behind a narrow side gate takes longer than one on an open lawn.

As standard we grind to roughly 200-300mm below ground level, which is enough to re-turf or plant over. If you are laying a patio, building or putting in fence posts we can go deeper - just tell us what the area is for.

Grinding is a contained process and we take care to protect surrounding surfaces. We check for drains, cables and pipes before starting, and use boards to spread the weight of the machine across lawns. Any surface marks are made good before we leave.

Grinding produces a mix of chip and soil. We can take it away, or leave it on site if you want to use it to backfill the hole or as mulch on borders - many customers prefer to keep it.

Yes, once the hole is backfilled with topsoil. We would suggest topsoil rather than the grindings alone for planting, as decomposing wood temporarily locks up nitrogen in the soil.
