Stump Removal

General tree felling works can only remove the part of the tree above the ground. This leaves a stump which will take many years to rot away. Worse still, many species such as fruit trees, Sycamore and Ash will continue to grow almost unhindered after being reduced to a stump and will send up countless strong shoots which need to be continually controlled.

Trying to remove the stump by digging it out may prove an impossible and exhausting task. Trying to kill the stump with poisons is often ineffective, is hardly good for wildlife, and still leaves you with a dead stump that will take years to rot.

The answer is the mechanical stump grinder, which obliterates the stump with a rotating tungsten carbide-toothed cutting wheel. Our fleet of mechanical stump grinding machines will match any task. As part of our felling or site clearance services, we are able to remove practically any stump. In most cases this will completely halt any regrowth and prepare the site for replanting.

We have a 'lightweight' model, which can clear a 75cm (29.5") gap, which is perfect for narrow domestic situations, in tight corners, on slopes or over obstacles.

Our most powerful model is the Vermeer SC252. This machine will tackle the largest, hardest stumps with ease. It requires a clearance of 89cm (35").
