Stump Grinding & Stump Removal in Staines-upon-Thames

Old stumps are trip hazards, mower-breakers and can sprout new growth. Stump grinding chips the stump away to below ground level, quickly and with little disruption.

Close to the Thames, many homes sit on low-lying ground, from Victorian terraces to modern riverside flats and family semis.

Near the Thames, willows, poplars and alders grow fast and benefit from regular reduction to keep them safe and in proportion.

Older properties often come with mature trees planted decades ago that have now outgrown the garden, or sit close to walls and foundations.

New-build gardens often border older hedgerows and boundary trees that need cutting back from fences and lawns.

Staines-upon-Thames falls under Spelthorne Borough Council. Before any work we check their tree preservation order register and conservation area maps, or you can check yourself on the Spelthorne Borough Council website.
