Professional Tree Stump Removal and Grinding Services
Let us help transform your garden space with professional stump removal. Thor's Trees brings specialist machinery and expert knowledge to safely remove any tree stump from your property, regardless of its size or location.
Will your stump grinder fit through my home?
Our compact 26-inch wide grinder easily manoeuvers easily through standard doorways and corridors. For open spaces, we bring larger machinery that removes extensive stumps efficiently. Each project begins with an assessment to determine which equipment works best for your situation.
Which service do you need?
Stump grinding is ideal for most garden projects, removing the stump to below ground level without disturbing the surrounding area. We recommend this for patios, lawns and general landscaping.
Full stump removal, which extracts the entire root system, suits projects requiring deep excavation work or complete root network elimination. This is particularly useful for construction projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump removal usually involves excavating the entire root ball, which can be disruptive to the surrounding landscape. Stump grinding uses a specialized machine to shred the stump into small wood chips several inches below the ground level, which is a faster, less invasive, and more cost-effective way to clear the area.
How deep do you grind the stump?
We typically grind stumps to a depth of 6 to 12 inches below the surface. This is deep enough to allow for the laying of new turf, soil, or shallow landscaping, ensuring the stump is no longer a trip hazard or an obstacle for lawnmowers.
What happens to the wood chips after the grinding is finished?
The grinding process creates a pile of mulch-like wood chips. These can be left on-site to fill the hole where the stump was, used as mulch in your flowerbeds, or we can arrange to have them removed from your property entirely to leave the site perfectly clean.
Can you grind a stump that is in a tight space or near a wall?
Yes, our specialized stump grinders come in various sizes, including narrow-access machines designed to fit through standard garden gates and work in confined spaces. We take great care to protect nearby structures, walls, and other plants during the process.
Will the tree grow back after the stump is ground?
Because the main "crown" of the stump is ground away well below the surface, the vast majority of tree species will not grow back. For particularly vigorous species known for suckering, our arborists can provide advice on additional treatments to ensure the root system remains completely dormant.
