Stump Grinding & Removal

Once trees have been felled to ground level, it is usually necessary to remove the remaining tree stump, especially within the urban environment, where space is valuable. This requires specialist machinery and trained staff.

Thor’s Trees have a wide variety of stump grinding machines that can work on any site and on any ground conditions. Our smallest machine, with a width of 26 inches, capable of fitting through most corridors and doorframes; to our larger more powerful machines, capable of removing huge stumps in a matter of minutes.

There are a few reasons why getting rid of the old wood is beneficial for your yard and garden. The most obvious reason is aesthetics. An ugly stump can detract from the beauty of your garden, so getting rid of it will enhance your landscaping.

Secondly, if the stump is in the middle of your garden or is in the way of installing a walkway, driveway or patio, or otherwise making a space unusable, getting rid of it is usually the only option.

Old stumps that have been in your garden for years can rot and start to attract mould and fungi, which can contaminate the rest of your garden, harming or even killing other plant life. Of course, removing a stump will also prevent an unwanted tree from growing back.
