Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  What is stump grinding?A. It’s the process of using a specialised machine to grind a stump into wood chips, reducing it below ground level so it’s no longer visible or obstructive.
Q.   Will the tree grow back after stump grinding?A. No — grinding disrupts the root system, preventing regrowth in most cases. For persistent species, we can apply eco-safe treatments if needed.
Q.  Is it better to grind or dig out a stump?A. Grinding is faster, cleaner, and less disruptive to surrounding areas. Digging is rarely needed unless for construction purposes.
Q.  How deep do you grind the stump?A. Typically 4–6 inches below the surface, depending on what the area will be used for after removal.
Q.   What happens to the wood chips?A. You can keep them for mulch, or we’ll remove and dispose of them — entirely your choice.
Q.  Can you remove stumps in tight spaces?A. Yes, we have portable machines that can access narrow gates and awkward spots where larger equipment can’t reach.
