London stump grinding – Are you looking for a tree root removal service or root grinding service? KW tree care provides stump removal in North London. The approach we take would include the ability to get access to your garden.

Stump Grinding and Stump Removal

The size of the stump in question determines the approach we take to remove the stump. For small stumps we will ‘grub’ them out with hand tools and sometimes mechanical winches.

Stumps that cannot be removed by hand, will need to be ground out with a machine called a stump grinder. Depending on the depth required can effect the cost and time taken.

Poisoning (alternative option)

For a fee of £30 (small/medium size stump) we can poison a stump so it deteriorates over time and ensures it does not continue to grow. The way in which we do this helps prevent poisoning of children and animals.

We cut a flat slice off of the stump and then drill multiple holes which we hammer in ‘capsules’ containing the specialist poison. We then take the off cut and screw it down onto the stump to stop the poison being exposed to pets or minors.

London Stump Grinding

The process of stump grinding is a complex and intricate one; it is the practice of excavating the stump of the tree without removing the root system. A stump grinder is employed in this case to mechanically grind out the stump, leaving fine sawdust as a residue upon completion of the process.

The advantage of this root grinding service is that the stump is ground down to your desired height.  It is possible to grind as deep as 12 inches underground, or as low as just 1 inch under the soil.

Since the stump is ground, eventually it will integrate with the soil. By doing so, the ground level is maintained and the need for additional filling is eliminated.

It is believed that grinding a stump away is one of the best means of removing it. KW Tree Care offers guaranteed root grinding service at a price that’s affordable.

Tree stumps can be extremely difficult to remove by hand, but we can do it for you with our tools. The machinery we use for grinding down tree stumps allows us to grind your tree stump down below the ground.
