A lifetime in tree work refined into precise stump removal
What began as one man with a love for tree work has become a trusted local team, known for honest service and dependable results. Led by Martin, we bring decades of experience and genuine pride to every garden we visit.
From the treetops to the ground below – our journey to Stockport Stumps
For more than 20 years, Martin worked across Greater Manchester and Cheshire as a professional tree climber, helping countless homeowners and contractors care for their trees safely. In 2022, he decided it was time to focus his experience on something new — the final stage of every tree job: removing stumps cleanly, efficiently, and with precision.
That’s how Stockport Stumps was born. What started with one grinder and a van quickly grew into a small, close-knit team who share the same values — work hard, stay reliable, and leave every site better than you found it.
"Second time for Stockport Stumps: again impressed from the outset. Martin is great to deal with and takes real pride in his work. He’s removed 12 stumps now and always leaves the spacee clean and tidy. Definitely recommended."
Highly skilled stump removal experts with a focus on quality
Stockport Stumps is led by Martin, joined by a small team of experienced operators who bring energy, skill, and care to every job. We’re not a big company — and that’s exactly how we like it. Every member of our team knows the importance of doing the job right, communicating clearly, and leaving behind results we’re proud of.
With over 20 years of experience in tree work and stump grinding, Martin brings calm precision to every job. He handles the awkward stumps, the difficult access routes and the complex root systems — always delivering tidy, controlled results.
Izzy works alongside Martin on-site, helping deliver efficient, tidy stump grinding day in, day out. From preparing the work area to managing grind depth and clean-up, she brings focus, consistency and great attention to detail to every job.
"Thanks to Martin for a speedy service, great communication. Arrived on time, job done with no fuss and left no mess. Would highly recommend this company."
Proud to deliver honest work and reliable results
Over the years, we’ve learned that good service isn’t complicated — it’s about turning up when you say you will, doing what you promised, and treating every job like it’s your own garden.

Friendly and personal service

Clean and tidy finish
We believe a job’s not done until the area looks great. After grinding your stump, we level and tidy the space, leaving it ready for replanting, turfing, or landscaping. It’s all part of the extra care that keeps our customers recommending us time and again.
Simple steps for a smooth, hassle-free stump removal
We believe getting rid of a tree stump should be straightforward from start to finish. That’s why we’ve refined our process into four clear steps that keep things quick, tidy, and stress-free. From the first photo you send to the final tidy-up, we make every stage easy and efficient.
Send us photos or video
Start by sending us a few photos or a short video of the stump you’d like removed. This helps us assess size, access, and ground conditions quickly. You can send them through WhatsApp or Messenger — whichever is easiest for you.
