Tree Stump Removal in Southampton
We offer expert tree stump removal at affordable prices.
Once a tree has been felled, you are often left with a stubborn stump in the middle of the garden. It gets in the way of mowing, can sprout new growth, is easy to trip over and slowly attracts fungi and pests. At MJC Tree Surgeons Southampton, we have been removing stumps since 2002, so you can get your space back.
Stump grinding or full removal?
The two are slightly different. Stump grinding uses a machine with a cutting disc to grind the stump and surface roots into chippings, well below ground level, leaving the deeper roots to break down naturally. Full stump removal takes out the whole stump and its main roots, which is more disruptive but leaves completely clear soil, for example before building work.
For most gardens, grinding is the quicker, tidier and more cost-effective choice, and it is the method we recommend in the majority of cases. We are always happy to talk through which suits your situation.
Why remove a tree stump?
- Reclaim your space for a lawn, patio, planting or a new tree.
- Stop regrowth, as many species send up fresh shoots from a living stump.
- Remove a trip hazard hidden in the grass.
- Deter pests and fungi such as honey fungus, which can spread to nearby plants.
Left alone, a stump can take many years to rot down, so grinding deals with it in a single visit.
