Tree Stump Removal, Stevenage

Stump removal is done after felling a tree and it can be cumbersome if done by an inexperienced person because the stumps are firmly attached to the ground. Expertise and the right techniques are required during elimination of the stump. We provide stump removal services at affordable costs. Tree stumps can be a health hazard to the environment if not taken care of. We offer various services of stump removal depending on the size of tree and location of the tree remains. Our stump removal package is well tailored to meet the needs of different clients.  Our tree surgeons first visit the site and walk the customer through what is needed. A quotation is given to the client before commencement of the service.

​Tree stump removal is necessary because:
  • Tree stumps may be ugly and could create a negative impression of your property.
  • They can cause accidents and serious injuries.
  • They can take up precious space.
  • Dead roots can be at risk of diseases which can be spread to other plants.
  • Can be a breeding ground for pests.
  • Can lead to new unwanted tree growth.
  • Can be a hindrance when maintaining your garden, and can interfere with larger projects such as re-landscaping.
Every stump has its unique characteristics - a tree stump can have a deep rooted system, may be small, medium or large. Multiple stumps are also difficult to deal with. The location of the stump also determines the removal process.  Once the tree surgeon assesses the stump the best method of removing it is chosen. Here are some of the tree stump removal techniques our tree surgeons use:
  • Stump grinding - We use a stump grinder to mechanically grind the stump down to its root plate.  Covering of soil follows and the rest of the roots will rot. This method is ideal for deep rooted stumps.
  • Uses of chemicals - Chemical stump removal products such as Epsom salts are used to speed up the decaying of the stump. We follow due caution as we apply these chemicals. It takes a longer time to see results but eventually it eliminates the stump.
  • If the stump in question is small our team can do a fast and efficient job by digging it out using suitable equipment.
  • Full stump removal – This is the most labour-intensive and involving process for removing a stump. It must be fully dug out of the ground to be effective.  This can be complicated by soil type, the hardness of the wood, whether the stump is in close proximity to other structures etc.
