Large cut tree stump in a lawn, ready to be ground out

Stump Grinding and Stump Removal

When a tree is felled, the stump left behind can be a trip hazard, an eyesore and a home for fungus, and some species keep sending up new shoots for years. Earthwise Tree Care grinds out stumps of all sizes across Banbury, North Oxfordshire and South Warwickshire with a specialist stump grinder.

The stump is ground down below ground level into wood chip, leaving the area ready for turf, paving, planting or building.

Why Choose Us for Stump Grinding

Stump grinding is quicker, cleaner and less disruptive than digging a stump out. There is no large hole to fill, and the deeper roots are left to rot down naturally in the soil. We protect nearby paths, walls and windows from flying chips, grind to the depth your plans need, whether that is new turf or a fresh tree in the same spot, and rake the ground level before we leave.

Our Stump Grinding Services

We grind out stumps left from our own tree removals and stumps left behind by others, from small garden stumps to large hardwood ones. Tell us what you want to do with the ground afterwards and we will grind to suit, then leave the chippings as mulch or take them away.

A single stump in a lawn can usually be ground out in a short visit, and a whole run of hedge or conifer stumps can be cleared in one go.

How We Can Help

Tell us roughly how wide the stump is, where it is and how easy it is to reach. Access matters, so let us know about narrow gates, steps or slopes.

We will give you a free, no-obligation quote, and if the tree is still standing we can fell it and grind out the stump in the same job.

Typical Stump Grinding Jobs

A typical job is clearing the stumps left behind when an overgrown conifer hedge has been taken out. Each stump is ground down below the surface, the roots near the top are chipped out with it, and the strip is raked level, ready for a new hedge, a fence line or a flower bed.

Because the deeper roots are left to rot down in the ground, there is no deep hole to fill and no heavy digging.

Why Grind Out a Stump?

Grinding a stump out stops regrowth from species that sucker, removes a home for fungi such as honey fungus, and gives you back usable ground. It also gets rid of a trip hazard and an obstacle to mowing.
