Stump grinding and tree stump removal in Bolton
An old tree stump is a trip hazard, gets in the way of mowing and can sprout new shoots for years. Our stump grinder removes stumps quickly and cleanly by grinding them into wood chippings below ground level — no digging, no damage to the surrounding garden.
How stump grinding works
- We check for underground services such as pipes and cables.
- The grinder’s rotating cutting wheel chips the stump away a little at a time.
- We grind down below ground level — typically 6 to 12 inches, deeper on request.
- The chippings are cleared or used to backfill the hole, ready for topsoil and turf.
Narrow access? No problem
Our grinder fits through most garden gates and side passages. We’ve ground out stumps beside garages, against fences and in tight back gardens — one customer had six stumps gone by Friday morning so they could put in concrete fence posts, and another had two stubborn stumps removed the same afternoon they asked.
What you can do afterwards
Once the stump is gone you can lay turf, plant new trees or shrubs, build a rockery, put down a patio or install fence posts. We recently ground out a large cherry stump in the corner of a garden so the family could build a rockery in its place.
