James was responsive to our request for a quote, for felling a large ash tree we suspected had died. He replied to messages quickly, turned up when he said he would, and was correct that our tree had in fact died. James was professional the whole time and we would have no hesitation in hiring and recommending him to others in the future.

Local stump grinding experts
What is stump grinding?
Stump grinding is the process of removing tree stumps and roots from the ground using specialised equipment. This technique involves using a stump grinder, a machine with a rotating cutting disc that chips away the wood, reducing the stump to small wood chips. Stump grinding is an efficient way to remove unsightly stumps and prevent potential hazards or obstacles in your yard. It also helps to prevent the regrowth of trees from the remaining roots.
Cost of stump grinding
The cost of stump grinding can vary based on several factors, including the size and number of stumps, the type of wood, and the complexity of the job. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between £50 and £150 per stump. Larger stumps or those in difficult-to-access areas may cost more. For a more accurate estimate, it’s best to get quotes from local stump grinding and root grinding experts on Rated People.
How do I know if the job has been done well?
- Complete Removal: The stump and major roots should be ground down to below ground level, ensuring no visible remains.
- Minimal Disturbance: The surrounding area should be left intact with minimal damage to nearby plants or structures.
- Proper Cleanup: All wood chips and debris should be cleaned up, leaving the area tidy and ready for further landscaping or planting.
At Rated People, our tradespeople are reviewed by previous customers, so you can see if they have done a good job before hiring them. Additionally, read through the guide on our local gardeners page to find out what kinds of questions you should be asking beforehand.
Other stump grinding FAQs
Do I Need Permission to Grind a Stump?
In most cases, you do not need permission to grind a stump on your property. However, if the tree was protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or if you live in a conservation area, you may need to check with your local council before proceeding.
How Long Does Stump Grinding Take?
The time required for stump grinding depends on the size and number of stumps, as well as the difficulty of access. Most jobs can be completed within a few hours, but larger or more complex projects may take longer.
What Happens to the Wood Chips?
After stump grinding, the resulting wood chips can be used as mulch for your garden, helping to retain moisture and suppress weeds. If you prefer, the tradesperson can remove the wood chips from your property for an additional fee.

Endrit and his team were wonderful to work with - friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble for them, despite me changing aspects of the kitchen renovation and install during the process. They went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect and that I was happy with all aspects. My new kitchen looks amazing and I can't recommend Endrit and his team highly enough - I have already recommended E Saint George to friends and will be getting them back to install my bathroom.

Working outside in the commercial maintenance industry I learned a huge amount about the work and all the different areas of work there are. I’ve learned the work from starting at the bottom and rising to the top, I’ve taken on more challenging roles such as being a supervisor but I always love to get involved in the work. In every job challenges can arise. Working outside in the great British weather can be a challenge in itself especially as you never know what Mother Nature is going to throw at you. Despite the various challenges we encounter our standard of work never falters and we always aim to deliver to the highest of standards. After years in employment I made the decision to become self-employed and start my own landscaping company (Garden Knights LTD). The business has thrived over the last 9 years and within those years I gained skills in landscaping, this involved decking, fencing and turfing to name a few. I decided to further my skills and undertook courses within the arboriculture. I gained a lot of experience by undertaking jobs involving chipping, driving material handlers and of course stump grinding. I’ve been stump grinding since 2017, over these 7 years I’ve gained vast experience in the field and now have a range of specialized equipment ready to deal with the smallest of stumps to the mightiest ones as well. More importantly is the need for safety, I have full knowledge of the safety needs required for each job and will always make sure the area I’m working in is safe before and after stump removal. I am fully insured with sufficient public liability insurance and I also have a waste carriers license. Luckily I love being outside, whether it be wind, rain, shine or even snow I will be there! ? I hold NPTC CS30, CS31, CS38, CS39 certificates, and land based certificates for safe operation of a wood chipper and a stump grinder. ? ?? ? NPTC Qualified. Risk Assessments and Method Statements. Public Liability Insurance £5m. I am a Registered Waste Carrier. Almost all Waste is Recycled.
Great job, highly recommended
