 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt went massively above and beyond to get rid of a huge 1m oak stump I had in the way, on a Sunday, with no notice at all. Digging it out didn’t go to plan for me ahead of footings needing to go in on the Monday. I made some enquiries late on the weekend and Matt came straight back to me with a reasonable price, then when asked if he could do it literally the same day - a Sunday none the less, he gave up his day off to help me out with no complaints. Friendly guy, great service, great job done, would highly recommend him! You don’t ever get service like that any more!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matty was really friendly, courteous and did excellent job grinding stump.  Luckily he had a hand held grinder as  only access was through my house.  Very speedy and cost effective and tidied up after job.
Only downside was filled hole with layers of soil and the sawdust which is biodegradable and therefore beginning to rot down and soil level dropping - would be fine except I want to lay patio on top so would not do that next time.   Definitely recommend Matty and Stump grinding Dorset.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matthew did an amazing job removing three large, knotted ash stumps from my garden. He was professional, efficient, and left the garden looking immaculate. The stumps were tough, but he handled them with ease. I highly recommend Matthew’s service for anyone needing stump removal in their garden!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top service, Matthew removed a large tropical plant stump and the associated spaghetti warren of tightly bound root system.
Despite limited space to work within, he did a well controlled excavation down to sufficient depth for re-plant.
Excellent result, would definitely recommend him.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Inquiries About Stump Removal

Straightforward answers to all your stump grinding questions, helping you plan with confidence. From pricing and site access to insurance and timescales, we cover everything you need to know.

How much does stump grinding cost in Dorset?

Prices start from £125 for a small stump. Rates scale based on diameter at ground level and root access.

Can you fit through a narrow standard garden gate?

Yes. Our compact stump grinding machines require as little as 29 inches of access, allowing us to pass through most standard garden gates and narrow entrances.

For properties with particularly restricted access, we also have specialist equipment that can be dismantled and carried through by hand, allowing us to reach stumps in even the most difficult locations.

What depth do you grind tree stumps down to?

We typically grind stumps to a depth of 6–12 inches below ground level, providing plenty of room for re-turfing or re-seeding with grass.

If a greater depth is required for replanting, landscaping or building foundations, we can accommodate this to suit your specific requirements.

Do you clear away the resulting wood chip mulch?

We rake back the woodchips tidily into the hole. Upon request, we can clear and extract them for an extra fee.

Are you fully insured for damage on private properties?

Absolutely. We carry £5,000,000 public liability insurance specifically for specialist stump operations.

How long does the average grinding job take?

A single medium garden stump takes roughly 30 to 60 minutes. Larger commercial clearings can range from 1 to 2 days.

How fast can you provide an quote?

Simply send us the stump dimensions, details of site access and a few photos or a short video via WhatsApp. We can usually provide a quote within 2 hours.
