With a special machine that will essentially chip away at the stump until all that remains is sawdust. This does not remove the roots of the stump, which means they must be either left, dug up or extracted by hand.

Yes, but for small stumps it's cheaper to just hire a professional grinder. It costs about £100 to rent a stump grinder for the day to remove smaller stumps, but there is a higher chance of hurting yourself grinding a stump on your own.

Tree stump grinding may be needed to remove a very large tree stump. Oversized tree stumps are often difficult to remove through extraction, and may therefore need to be ground up by an auger.

When trees begin to sprout from a stump, that's a good sign that the root system – and therefore the stump itself – is still alive. When grinding is done properly, the stump will die and no further trees will regrow from it.

Stump grinding and complete stump removal are two very different services. Removing a stump often means using brute force to separate a stump from its roots, then using heavy equipment to lever it out of the ground. Stump grinding, on the other hand, simply means grinding the stump down until it is level with or just below ground level. It’s a more economical choice, and it is often quicker, as well. This is a great choice for tree species that aren’t known to regrow from stumps, or in cases when you aren’t interested in planting another tree in the same location as the stump. The Amersham Old Town experts on our network can advise of the best method for your needs.

This will depend on many different factors, including the species of the tree and the plants that surround it. Even a ground stump can harbour certain types of pests that can make the stump their home. Certain invasive plants can take root inside ground tree stumps, and pest animals can dig burrows into them, as well. You should get the advice of a professional before deciding whether tree grinding is your best option.

This is a very popular question. It’s possible to use a chainsaw or other tool to cut a tree stump until it is level with the ground, but this doesn’t seal the stump in the same way as grinding. What’s more, a chainsaw cannot accomplish the smooth top that a grinding tool can. A grinder can also take a tree stump below ground level so it can be covered with soil and grass, then forgotten. This cannot be accomplished otherwise.
