Stump Grinding in Maidstone and Sittingbourne
When removing a tree, a portion of the trunk remains in the ground – a tree stump. These can be unsightly, get in the way and have the potential to spread disease. For these reasons, our tree surgeons recommend removing tree stumps. If you are in Maidstone, Sittingbourne, or the surrounding areas, we can help you with this. Our specialist stump grinding service is the quick, safe, and easy way to completely remove tree stumps of every size.
Stump Grinding
When is the Best Time for Stump Removal?
The best time to deal with tree stumps is right after felling the tree. This is because, if left, the roots can form new growths called suckers, which will turn into another tree, or trees. Furthermore, dead stumps can host diseases, such as honey fungus, which easily spread to other plants.
Maidstone Tree Surgeons can provide tree felling and stump grinding services simultaneously to prevent such issues. However, we are also happy to help if you have a dead stump on your property which has been there for some time. Whether you are making way for a patio or other garden feature or are simply fed up with trying to mow around a stump, we can clear the space to suit your needs.
Stump Treatment and Grinding
We can either perform stump removals or treat them to prevent regrowth. With the former, our team provides a full removal service, which includes clearing waste and making the ground good afterwards. Tight access is not a problem, and we can clear tree stumps and roots from all corners of your garden or other outdoor spaces in the Maidstone and Sittingbourne areas.
Tree Stump Grinding
The most effective way to remove a tree stump is with a purpose-built machine called a stump grinder. A rotating cutting disc shreds the wood and roots entirely, with a 0% chance of regrowth. This is an environmentally friendly solution because we can use the resulting sawdust and chippings to fill the hole. We will advise if tree stump grinding is a suitable option, depending on your plans for the space.
Stump Treatment
Another option is to treat/poison the tree stump to stop new growth. Note that this will not rot out the stump completely. At Maidstone Tree Surgeons Ltd, we use Ecoplugs to neutralise regrowth. This effective method is safe for animals and the environment, and we recommend it for smaller trees and shrubs.
