Ground out below the ground

The stump is ground away until it sits below the surface, so grass or a garden bed can go back on the spot. The chip is raked back into the hole or left in a pile for your beds, whichever you prefer.

After a removal, ask for the stump in the same quote. For an old stump, a photo with something beside it for scale is enough to start.

Questions

Another question? Call 0800 001 224 or send it with your quote.

Is the stump ground away under the soil?

What happens to the chip?

It is raked back into the hole or left for your garden, whichever you prefer.
