Stump grinding service: why remove stumps?

Before we explore the details of our stump grinding service, here’s a few reasons why removing tree stumps is so important:

1. Enhanced aesthetics. Stumps can be unsightly and disrupt the overall appearance of your garden. Removing them can instantly improve the visual appeal of your outdoor space.  
2. Safety. Tree stumps can pose tripping hazards, especially in areas where children play or people walk frequently. Removing them reduces the risk of accidents.   
3. Space utilisation. Stumps can occupy valuable space in your garden, limiting your landscape options. Removing them opens up the area for new planting or other landscaping ideas.  
4. Disease and pests. Tree stumps can become breeding grounds for fungi and pests, which can potentially harm nearby plants and trees.

Simpson Arboriculture’s stump grinding service

At Simpson Arboriculture, we take pride in our professional stump grinding service. Our team of experienced arborists is equipped with a stump grinder which is capable of removing stumps of all sizes quickly and efficiently. Here’s how the process works:

1. Assessment/ quotation. Many of our customers use the stump grinding form on our website when submitting a stump grinding service enquiry. This asks for access details and photos, which enables our team to quote accurately for the work.
2. Booking in a date and time. Once a customer has accepted the quote, we will be in touch to arrange a day and time for the stump grinding
3. Stump grinding. Our stump grinder is designed to grind down stumps quickly and effectively. This prevents regrowth and provides a smooth and level area for landscaping.
4. Clean up. Stump grindings/ shavings are used to backfill the resulting hole as they decompose rapidly. We can remove grindings from site, but this would incur an additional cost.

Other options

Eco plugs. Sometimes it is not possible to use our stump grinder. This may be due to a narrow access. It could also be due to a fence or other structure in close proximity. Steps and walls would also prevent us from accessing the stump using our stump grinder. That’s why many of our customers opt for eco plugs. These are small capsules containing granular glyphosate which is a liquid that dissolves to kill parts of the stump that are still alive. These are placed into drilled holes in the stump, preventing any liquid from leaking out. These can be a much safer, cheaper and more eco-friendly option than traditional liquid tree root killer. The stumps will then naturally decompose over time.

Stump digging. For larger tree stumps, we offer digging up of stumps using our excavator. The pulled stumps can then be mulched and incorporated into the ground.
