Stump grinding is the removal of the tree stump that is left behind from a felled tree to an agreed depth using a stump grinding machine. For removing tree stumps our tree surgery team uses the FSI B20 stump grinder which is compact and balanced and can grind down all types of tree stumps. After a tree is removed, the last thing to do to ensure it doesn’t grow back is to remove the stump left in the ground. We can remove any number of stumps in one visit, and we can do this after we have felled a tree or as a stand-alone service for trees that have already been removed. Stump grinding is the process of grinding out a tree stump to a depth of approx 6-12 inches under the ground’s surface using a specialist stump grinding machine, Tree stumps close to properties often cause damage and can be difficult to remove without making the problem worse.

A stump grinder works away at the tree stump that’s left after a tree has been felled. All stump grinders use a powerful, rotating blade that rips into the wood as it turns. The blade’s teeth cut the stump wood into small pieces. The machine blade is guided over the tree stump as the blade reduces the wood to chips, and takes the stump down to well below ground level.

While stump grinders can be hired, it is highly recommended that you enlist the help of experienced and professional tree surgeons such as Waterman Tree Co. Stump grinders are dangerous machinery if not operated by trained professionals who are confident in using this machinery. As with most heavy, powerful equipment, the chance for injury is high. Homeowners should be sure of their skills before hiring a stump grinder.

In addition to working the machine itself, operators need protective equipment to protect them from noise and from flying debris. Debris can be sharp pieces of wood, but also anything else that might be hiding in the ground: old fence posts, bricks, glass, nails, etc. Our experience in providing stump grinding for both domestic and commercial clients for more than twenty years means we can ensure tree stump grinding is done in the safest and most responsible way.
