After having a tree removed we were left with an awkward stump right in the middle of the lawn. Herts Tree & Garden came out promptly and ground it down completely. The area was left neat and ready for reseeding. Excellent service.
We had a couple of old stumps that had been in the garden for years and were getting in the way of a new patio project. The team removed them quickly and tidied everything up afterwards. Very efficient and professional.

How does stump grinding work?
Stump grinding uses specialist machinery to grind the tree stump down below ground level. The stump is reduced to wood chips, allowing the area to be levelled, turfed or replanted.How deep do you grind the stump?
Most stumps are ground to around 150–300mm below ground level, which is usually deep enough for turfing, planting or landscaping.Do you remove the wood chippings?
The wood chippings created during grinding can either be left on site to use as mulch in the garden or removed if you prefer a completely clear area.Is stump grinding better than digging out the stump?
Yes. Stump grinding is usually quicker, less disruptive and avoids large holes in the garden. It removes the visible stump while minimising disturbance to the surrounding area.Our Mission
