Why Remove a Tree Stump?
Leaving a remaining stump in your garden creates ongoing problems:
Trip Hazard
Stumps present safety risks and potential liability for property owners
Landscaping Obstacles
Prevents paving, turfing or new planting in valuable garden space
Pest Attraction
Tree stumps harbour termites, ants and wood-boring pests that can spread
Regrowth Problems
Root systems continue producing suckers requiring maintenance for several years
Property Aesthetics
Unsightly stumps reduce curb appeal and usable outdoor space
Professional tree stump grinding eliminates these issues efficiently while causing minimal disruption to your property.
Our Tree Stump Removal Process
✅ Free Site Assessment
We assess stump size, location, access and any surrounding features like patios or fencing. You receive a detailed, no-obligation quote.
✅ Professional Stump Grinding
Our stump grinder’s cutting wheel removes the entire stump to the agreed depth (typically 250-300mm below ground level). The process is quick, carried out safely, and creates minimal mess.
✅ Clean-Up & Restoration
Wood chippings fill the hole naturally. We leave the area tidy and ready for your next project, whether that’s replanting, laying turf, or installing paving.
✅ Stump grinding vs full excavation
Grinding is faster, less invasive, and doesn’t require heavy digging equipment. The root system decomposes naturally underground, while you can landscape immediately.
Most domestic jobs are completed within 1-2 hours. Larger commercial projects may require half a day.

Tree Stump Removal Surrey FAQs
How much does tree stump removal cost in Surrey?
Pricing depends on stump size, root spread, location and access. Small domestic stumps typically cost between £100 and £300. Larger stumps or difficult access increase costs. We provide free quotes after assessment.
What is stump grinding and how does it work?
A stump grinder uses a spinning disc with cutting teeth to grind wood into small chippings. The machine removes the stump and buttress roots below soil level without extensive digging.
How deep is the stump removed?
Standard depth is 25-30cm below ground level, sufficient for turfing or paving. For replanting, we recommend deeper grinding to at least 30cm to provide root space for new trees.
Will the underground roots be removed?
We remove the main stump and near-surface roots that could cause regrowth or interfere with landscaping. Remaining deep roots decompose naturally over time and rarely cause problems.
Can I replant or landscape after stump removal?
Yes. The area is ready for turfing or paving immediately. For replanting, deeper grinding creates adequate space for new root systems. Allow settling time as the wood chips compost.
Do you remove the wood chippings?
We offer both options. Chippings can backfill the hole (we leave a slight mound to account for settling) or be removed entirely, whichever suits your project.
