Precision Engineering

The Mechanical Grinding Process Explained

Stump grinding is the most efficient and least invasive method to deal with remaining tree obstacles. Our specialist machines use a high-speed carbide-tipped wheel to shave the wood down 6 to 12 inches below soil level.

Unlike manual digging or excavators, this process keeps your lawn completely intact and leaves you with an incredibly rich organic wood chip mulch that you can reuse in your borders.
