Stump Grinding & Stump Removal

Grind tree stumps below ground level so you can turf, plant or build over the space.

Overview

Stump Grinding & Stump Removal by MAFFS

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.

Our compact grinder fits through most side gates, so even back gardens with tight access aren't a problem.
