Stump grinding is a mechanical process that removes stumps after the tree has been felled or has fallen as a result of its condition. It is recommended that you use a professional tree surgeon for work of this type because they will have the equipment required to grind the remnants, backfill holes and leave woodchip onsite to use as mulch.
Alternatively, we can take waste away with us when we leave.
What is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is a mechanical process that can removes stumps using specialist machinery that is only available to the trade. A grinder has sharp rotating blades which cut through stumps easily. This is a fast, effective way of dealing with stumps and, because we uphold an impressively clean site at all times, waste won’t become an issue.
The rotating blade reduces the stump into small pieces.
- Stump grinding clears remnants quickly
- It is a cost-effective solution
- Woodchip can be left onsite or removed
While it is possible to hire stump grinding machinery, the equipment supplied won’t be as effective, or as powerful, as the tooling used by a tree surgeon. For this reason alone, it is better to contact us at Heatherlands Tree Care than it is to try doing the job yourself.
Even a hired stump grinder will be difficult to use for someone who is using machinery for the first time and doesn’t have protection.
Stump grinding projects in Crawley, Horley, Redhill, Reigate and the surrounding areas take approximately one hour to complete but can be more time-intensive if the stump is larger, difficult to remove or a site has more than one stump in need of removal. A tree surgeon will wear PPE, and will have been trained in the safe use of equipment.
Stump Grinding Machinery
Professional-standard stump grinding machinery has high-speed blades which rotate to cut through a tree’s remnants. Because the teeth of the blades are hardened with materials like tungsten carbide, we can chip away at the stump easily. The stump grinder breaks down a stump into woodchip that can be left to use as a mulch or will be removed.
This machinery uses hydraulics, so the forward, lateral and vertical movements needed when grinding stumps will be controllable. A stump grinder is powered by diesel or petrol, can also be run off a power take-off, and has advanced controls for complete manoeuvrability.
All stump grinding equipment is designed in such a way as to make it compact, meaning it can still be used in difficult-to-access areas.
