Hiring a professional to cut down a tree doesn't end the job. Stump grinding may be necessary to clear obstructions from your garden. The most efficient method is using a specialist stump grinder, an engine-driven machine with a rotating metal disk and hardened steel teeth that break down the wood.
The fragments are used to fill the hole, creating a mound that composts over time, enriching the soil. Our tree surgeons grind the main stump buttress and nearby roots to a depth of 25-30cm, leaving deeper roots intact to avoid disrupting the entire garden.
In some cases, a permit from the local council is required before stump removal can begin. This is particularly common if a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is in place or your land is part of a conservation area. Whatever the reason, you can count on our TA Price Garden Services team to liaise with the necessary public authorities to request permission.
Whilst other methods can be used for tree stump clearance, including using chemicals or burning the tree remains, the benefits of using a grinder make this method the most practical. The advantages of stump grinding include:
Stump removal requires the use of heavy machinery. To ensure the safety of both the public and our tree surgeons, we follow all necessary protocols and conduct routine checks to ensure no mechanical issues arise that could pose a risk during operation. Additionally, our team always wear the appropriate safety gear, including goggles, ear protection, gloves, and steel-toed boots, whether attending an Ascot family home or commercial site. The grinding area is also cleared regularly to prevent the machinery from overheating, ensuring optimal performance.
