Tree stump removal
For when you need a stump gone completely — roots, base, and all. Ideal for building projects, fencing lines, or landscaping where solid ground is essential. We remove every trace and leave the area clean and ready to build on.
Tree stump grinding
A clean, efficient solution that grinds the stump below ground level, leaving your space level and safe for replanting or turfing. Perfect for domestic gardens and commercial landscapes where a tidy finish matters most.
Tree root removal
We remove shallow or exposed tree roots that make gardens uneven or difficult to maintain. Using controlled stump grinding, we clear the surface roots safely and leave the ground tidy and ready for new turf, planting or landscaping. Ideal for everyday root problems without the need for excavation.
Hedge stump removal
We safely clear hedge stumps and tangled roots, giving you a clean, open boundary that’s much easier to rebuild, replant or maintain. Our careful approach leaves the area neat, level and ready for new fencing, fresh planting or any other garden improvements you have planned.

Answers to common questions about our tree stump services
We’ve answered some of the questions we’re asked most often about stump removal and grinding. Whether you’re looking for a quick DIY solution or want to understand how our professional service works, you’ll find clear, simple answers below.
The safest and most reliable way to kill a tree stump is to remove it completely, as chemical treatments can take months and may affect surrounding soil. Our stump grinding service removes the living root system entirely, stopping regrowth and leaving the ground ready for new planting or landscaping.
You can dig out small stumps by hand with patience, but larger ones often need specialist machinery. At Stockport Stumps, we use compact, powerful grinders that break down the stump below ground level, quickly and safely — no heavy digging, no mess, and no risk to nearby plants.
The best long-term solution is stump grinding. It’s faster and cleaner than burning or chemical methods. We grind the stump into small chippings that mix with the soil, leaving a level, tidy finish that’s ideal for turfing or paving.
Digging out a stump by hand can work for small roots, but it’s extremely labour-intensive for larger trees. Our professional machinery is designed to do the hard work for you — grinding the stump down to below surface level without damaging your garden or lawn.
Even after a tree has fallen, the remaining stump can still be difficult to remove. We specialise in clearing these safely and efficiently, using machinery that can reach awkward spots and leave the area clean, level, and ready for replanting or rebuilding.
Burning a stump is rarely effective and can be unsafe, especially near buildings or fences. Instead of risking fire damage or prolonged smoke, we use precision grinding to remove the stump entirely — a faster, safer, and more environmentally friendly solution.
If you want a stump gone completely, professional grinding is the best choice. We grind deep enough to remove the main root system and backfill the area neatly. It’s a clean, low-impact way to get your garden back without the strain of digging or burning.
Large stumps can be too heavy and deep-rooted for manual removal. Our specialist grinders can handle any size stump, even in hard-to-access spaces. We remove the bulk of the wood below ground, leaving a level surface ready for your next project.
Costs depend on size, access, and the number of stumps. At Stockport Stumps, every job is priced individually to ensure you get the fairest rate. The easiest way to get an exact quote is to send us a few photos via WhatsApp — we’ll reply the same day.
Prices vary, but smaller domestic stumps usually cost less than large or multiple removals. We provide clear, no-obligation quotes with no hidden fees. Send us pictures or a short video of your stumps, and we’ll respond quickly with a fixed price and available dates.
