Say farewell to stubborn stumps with professional stump grinding in Romsey — quick, clean, done

We specialise entirely in tree stump removal by grinding. We don’t fell trees or offer general garden services — stump grinding is our only job, and we’ve invested in the equipment and training to do it properly. We work with homeowners, landlords, landscapers, and commercial clients.

It’s your call, but there are solid reasons to get it done. A decaying stump attracts fungi and insects, can send up unwanted regrowth, and sits there looking untidy while taking up space you could use. It’s also a trip hazard, especially once grass starts growing over it. Grinding it out is the simplest way to solve all of those issues.

We bring a grinder with a rotating cutting wheel that chews through the wood from the top down. There’s no digging or excavating — the machine does all the work. We grind below ground level and fill the hole with the chippings produced. You can leave them to break down, use them as mulch, or have the area topped with soil and reseeded.

The price is mainly driven by the stump’s diameter at ground level. More stumps mean a better rate per stump. In most cases, we can quote from a photo and measurement alone. For larger or more complex sites, we’ll come and look at no charge.

We deal with this all the time. Our smallest grinder is hand-carried, so it goes anywhere a person can walk — through houses, garages, side returns, you name it. Wider access? Our compact wheeled grinder fits through a standard garden gate. Difficult access has never stopped us completing a job.

Grinding is faster, cheaper, and far less disruptive. Excavation tears up the area around the stump and leaves a large hole that needs filling. Grinding disturbs very little beyond the stump itself. Your lawn, borders, and paths stay intact, and the whole process is over in a fraction of the time.

Usually, yes. Tree surgeons are skilled at what they do, but stump removal is a different trade requiring different equipment. Our machines are purpose-built and more powerful, which means faster work and lower costs per stump. Getting a fell-only price from your surgeon plus a stump price from us is typically the best-value approach.

We’d advise against it. Here’s why:

• Proper qualifications: Our team are NPTC-certified. Stump grinders are aggressive machines that demand proper training.
• On-site safety: Every job gets a risk assessment, debris barriers, and full PPE. Without these, the risks are real.
• Better value: Hire companies charge a flat daily fee. Our per-stump pricing often undercuts the hire cost for typical garden jobs.
• Superior machinery: The grinders you can hire are much less powerful. Professional machines get through tougher wood in a fraction of the time.

We keep things straightforward:

• Credit Cards
• Debit Cards
• Bank Transfers
• Cash

We never ask for a deposit. Payment is taken after the work is finished. Multiple stumps get a discount. For anything unusual, just ask.

Absolutely. We work throughout Romsey and the Test Valley area, including Braishfield, Ampfield, North Baddesley, Awbridge, Michelmersh, and Mottisfont. If you’re in the area, we’ll get to you.

That’s exactly what our biggest grinder is built for. The Rayco RG55T has serious cutting power and tracked drive for rough or soft ground. Big oaks in paddocks, rows of stumps on farmland, cleared building plots — we handle them all.
