  Quick Reference

  Stump grinding

  tree stump is ground down to ground level then a further 12 inches into the ground removing the root bole (deeper with larger commercial projects). The underground root system is not removed but will degrade naturally. Exposed/trailing roots can be removed also if requested on completion you will be left with a crater approx 18 inches wider than the diameter of the stump removed. We can then advise and complete a re-planting project for you as well if required.
