Reclaim Your Garden with Our Stockport Stump Grinding Service

An old tree stump is more than just an eyesore. It can be a trip hazard, attract unwanted pests, take up valuable garden space, and prevent you from achieving your landscaping goals. Our professional stump grinding service is the most effective way to permanently remove a stump and reclaim your ground.

Reclaim Your Space: We grind the stump and its main root bowl well below the ground’s surface, allowing you to turf over, replant, or build on the area without obstruction.
Improve Safety: Remove dangerous trip hazards from your lawn, making your garden a safer place for family, friends, and visitors.
Enhance Aesthetics: Immediately improve the look of your garden. Removing the stump provides a clean, finished look after a tree has been felled.
Prevent Pests & Disease: Old, decaying wood is an ideal habitat for pests and harmful fungi. Grinding the stump removes this risk entirely.

Honey Fungus: An Unseen Problem for Garden Health

One of the most compelling reasons to remove a tree stump is to prevent the spread of Honey Fungus (Armillaria). This is one of the most destructive and common fungal diseases found in UK gardens.

Old tree stumps act as the perfect breeding ground and reservoir for this damaging fungus. From the stump, it develops a network of black, root-like structures called rhizomorphs, which can travel underground for significant distances. These rhizomorphs can then attack and kill a wide variety of healthy, living trees, shrubs, and woody perennials in your garden.

By having your tree stump professionally ground out, you are not just tidying up; you are carrying out essential garden phytosanitation. Removing the stump eliminates the food source for the fungus, drastically reducing the risk of it establishing itself and spreading to your other cherished plants.

Our Professional Stump Grinding Process

Our service is designed to be efficient, thorough, and to cause minimal disruption.

We use a range of modern, powerful stump grinding machines, including narrow-access models that can fit through standard garden gates. The machine’s high-speed, tungsten-tipped cutting wheel grinds the stump and the main part of the root bowl into small woodchips. This process is far more effective than chemical treatments or trying to dig a stump out by hand.

The resulting woodchips are mixed with the soil and can be used as a mulch in your garden beds or to fill the shallow hole. Alternatively, we can arrange for their complete removal from the site. The choice is yours.
