Stump grinding in Cardiff.
Got a stump left where a tree used to be? We grind stumps out below ground level, so you can turf, plant or build over the space instead of mowing round it.

Garden access
Ground out, not dug up.
A stump grinder cuts the stump away in layers, turning the wood into chippings. It works down below ground level, so the stump is gone and the area can be levelled, turfed or planted. There is no need to dig out the whole root plate.
The main roots stay in the ground and break down naturally over time. Before grinding, Will checks for anything buried nearby, such as drains, cables and pipes, and looks at how the machine will get to the stump.
Stump grinding often follows tree felling and removal, but we can grind out old stumps too, however long they have been there.
When a stump needs to go.
In the way
Stumps in lawns, borders and driveways make mowing, planting and landscaping harder than it needs to be.
Making room
Planning a patio, extension, shed or new planting? Grinding clears the ground so the space can be used again.
Regrowth and decay
Some stumps keep sending up new shoots, and old ones can rot and attract fungi. Grinding them out stops both.

Stump grinding questions.
How deep do you grind a stump?
Below ground level, deep enough for you to lay turf, plant or level the area. If you have a particular use in mind, such as a patio or new planting, tell Will and he will plan the depth around it.
What happens to the roots?
The main roots are left in the ground and break down naturally over time. Grinding removes the stump itself, which is the part that gets in the way and can regrow.
Can you get a stump grinder into my garden?
Usually. Tell us the width of the narrowest gate or path on the way in, and send a photo if you can. Will can then plan how the machine reaches the stump.
Can you grind out an old stump?
Yes. Stumps from trees taken down years ago can be ground out in the same way, whether or not we felled the tree.
