Safe, clean hedge stump removal for clear, usable boundary lines
Our hedge stump removal service clears old hedge bases, tangled roots and stubborn boundary stumps quickly and safely. Most hedge stumps are removed using specialist stump grinding — the cleanest, most efficient method — giving you a clear line ready for new fencing, planting or landscaping.
Experience that makes hedge stump removal straightforward every time
Hedge stumps often cause more problems than people expect — tangled roots, uneven ground, deep clusters and awkward positions right against fences or walls. After years of clearing hedge stumps in all kinds of gardens, we’ve developed a safe, tidy approach that works even in tight, difficult spaces.
Hedge stump removal is the goal, and stump grinding is the method that achieves it. Our compact equipment makes it possible to clear old hedge roots without digging trenches or damaging nearby structures, leaving your boundary clean, level and ready for its next purpose.
"Couldn't be more pleased with this company. Martin and Kath not only removed five stumps for me at a very reasonable cost but also planted some plants he had in the space at no cost stall. Everything left neat and tidy."
How we remove hedge stumps cleanly and prepare your boundary properly
Our hedge stump removal service is designed to leave your boundary clear, level and easy to rebuild or replant. Using controlled stump grinding, we remove the stump and surface roots, tidy the area and prepare the ground for fencing, planting or landscaping. Here’s what the service involves.
Clear, controlled removal for clustered hedge roots
Hedge roots often grow in tight clusters, but our specialist grinding equipment breaks through them safely and efficiently. This allows us to remove multiple hedge stumps cleanly without tearing up the surrounding soil or causing unnecessary disruption along the boundary.
A clean, tidy boundary ready for new projects
Once the hedge stumps are cleared, we level the ground and tidy the chippings to create a straight, even line. This clean finish is ideal for new fencing, fresh planting or reshaping the garden however you choose.
Stump grinding that protects walls and fencing
Many hedge stumps sit close to walls, sheds or existing fence lines. Our compact grinder allows us to work precisely in tight spaces, removing the stump without damaging structures or creating deep holes along the boundary.
Suitable for single stumps or long hedge lines
Whether it's one stubborn hedge stump or an entire row, we scale the process to suit your garden. Our method works just as well for short decorative hedges as it does for long boundary lines or large, mature hedges.
Safe, efficient removal using modern equipment
We remove hedge stumps using stump grinding, which is far cleaner and safer than digging. The grinder reduces the stump and roots to mulch below ground level, leaving the area level and preventing future regrowth.

Clear answers to the most common hedge stump questions
Hedge stumps behave differently from tree stumps, and it’s natural to have a few questions before deciding the best way to remove them. These answers explain how hedge stump removal works, what to expect and why stump grinding is usually the safest and most effective solution for dense hedge roots.
The most effective way to kill a hedge stump is to remove the main root system completely. Chemical treatments often take months and rarely work on dense hedge roots. Grinding the stump below ground level prevents regrowth and leaves the boundary clean, level and ready for new fencing or planting.
Hedge stumps are best removed using stump grinding, which breaks down the stump and tangled surface roots without digging long trenches. This method is clean, controlled and safe to use along fences, walls and paths. It leaves the ground level and ready for new garden projects immediately.
Privet hedge stumps regrow aggressively unless the main root system is removed. Grinding the privet stump below ground level stops new shoots from appearing and prevents the hedge from returning. It’s faster and more effective than chemical treatments, especially for larger, well-established privet roots.
The quickest way to get rid of hedge roots is to grind the stump and surface roots below ground level. This method clears the area safely without digging up large sections of soil, leaving a tidy boundary ready for fencing, borders or replanting.
Hedge roots vary by species, but most grow shallow and spread wide along the boundary line. That’s why grinding is ideal — it removes the main roots at the surface without disturbing deeper soil, giving you a stable, even base for future garden work.
A full row of hedge stumps can be cleared using stump grinding, treating each stump in sequence to create a straight, level boundary. This approach is fast, tidy and avoids the heavy digging needed to remove multiple interconnected root systems.
Yes, many hedge species will grow back if the stump and main roots remain in place. Grinding removes the key root tissue that feeds regrowth, ensuring the stump does not return and keeping the boundary clear for good.
Yes — compact stump grinders are designed to work safely next to fences, walls and posts. We remove the hedge stump without disturbing the surrounding structures, making it easy to install new fencing or maintain the boundary afterwards.
Costs depend on the number of hedge stumps, their size, and how easy the boundary is to access. We provide fair, accurate quotations based on photos or a short video. Send images via WhatsApp for a quick, no-obligation price.
Most hedge stumps can be removed quickly using stump grinding, with small jobs taking under an hour and longer hedge lines completed the same day. Timing depends on root density, access, and the number of stumps involved, but we’ll always give a clear estimate upfront.
