Tree stump and roots removal in Winchester and Hampshire
What is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is the removal of tree stumps or trailing/exposed roots. Whether the stump is narrow and in a restricted area or large and in an open area, our stump grinding team has the technical skills and equipment to tackle the problem.
We have a range of machines that will grind away any size and quantity of stumps in almost any location. They work with a powered cutting wheel that chips them up within the ground, causing minimal ground disturbance and can be done within close proximity to fences walls and drains etc. We can access a site through a gap of about 70cm.
The remaining chips can be spread as a mulch or removed.
If required please specify the amount of stumps, diameter at ground level, height above ground level and information on access to the site.
Why remove tree stumps?
Tree stumps and especially roots can cause a number of problems. Interfering with underground pipes or electrical cabling, and sometimes causing damage to building foundations which can lead to subsidence.For your garden, exposed stumps attract fungus which can attack and damage the roots of other plants and trees.

You can, but it is an arduous process without the right equipment and machinery. There is also a danger of incomplete removal which will leave rotting wood. This in turn attracts insects and disease.
Stump killer should be used on freshly cut wood, so may not be suitable for an old stump. It also takes a number of weeks to be effective, and can’t be done in spring or summer which makes them an inconvenient solution.
