Efficient, Low-Disruption Tree Stump Removal Across Lancashire, Yorkshire & North Wales
At Treetops De-Vegetation Services Ltd, we provide professional stump grinding services to commercial clients across the North West, including Burnley, Pendle, Rochdale and into North Wales. Whether you’re managing land for development or need safe access for contractors, we remove tree stumps cleanly and quickly – leaving the ground clear, level, and ready for what comes next.
Our team is NPTC certified, fully insured, and equipped with both tracked and pedestrian stump grinders. We’re experienced working on everything from tight- access urban plots to large open construction sites.


Why Remove Stumps on Commercial Land?
Tree stumps don’t just get in the way – they cause delays, restrict access, and can become long-term issues. We support developers, councils, housing associations and infrastructure contractors by clearing stumps as part of wider vegetation
management or as a standalone service.
Grinding out stumps:
- Prevents regrowth from species like ash or poplar
- Reduces hazards and trip risks
- Protects against rot and disease spreading to nearby trees
- Ensures clean ground for fencing, landscaping, turfing or building foundations
How We Work - Our Site Clearance Process
Quick Assessment
We offer site visits or photo-based quotes. We assess stump size, location and access.
The Right Equipment for the Job
Clean, Below-Ground Finish
Stumps are ground 15-20cm below surface level (or deeper if needed). We can remove grindings or leave them for reuse as mulch.
Optional Surface Restoration
Where needed, we level and compact the ground ready for paving, reseeding or landscaping.

Recent Project Insight: Go Ape & Onward Homes
We’ve supported Go Ape with ongoing maintenance in woodland environments,
carrying out regular stump removal to ensure safe climbing routes and clear walkways. For Onward Homes, our emergency response teams cleared storm-
damaged trees and stumps across several housing sites, always attending within an hour during Storm Arwen.
