Flat, tidy and ready-to-use ground with minimal mess - stump grinding made easy for homeowners.
After a tree has been cut down, the stump it leaves behind can be awkward, unsightly, or get in the way of your plans. At Treetops De-Vegetation Services Ltd, we provide a fast, clean and low-disruption domestic stump grinding service.
Whether you’re planning to returf, replant, pave or simply want to get rid of an old stump, we’ll grind it down to below ground level and take care of all the mess – no fuss, no damage to your garden.
What Does Our Stump Grinding Service Involve?
Site Assessment & Access Planning
Our team carries out a site visit or virtual consultation to understand the stump’s diameter, species, position, and any underground obstacles. We regularly handle stumps in tight back gardens, near patios, and close to walls or fences.
The Right Equipment for the Job
We use pedestrian and tracked stump grinders that are compact, powerful, and perfect for domestic settings. Whether it’s one small stump or several large ones, we’ll choose the safest and most effective setup.
Ground Reinstatement
Once we’ve ground the stump, we’ll either remove the grindings or leave them as mulch. We can also backfill the hole for safety and a tidy finish.

Case Studies & Real Results
Burnley – Small Urban Garden: Following the removal of a storm-damaged birch tree, we ground the stump to 10 inches below the surface using a compact grinder that fit through a 65cm gate. The customer was re-turfing the space.
Nelson – Renovation Project: We supported a homeowner preparing for patio installation by removing three overgrown stumps left from leylandii. The team completed the job in under a day, working alongside their landscapers.
Clitheroe – Multi-Stump Clearance: As part of wider vegetation removal, we ground six medium-sized stumps for a garden redesign. All waste was removed, and the space was left level and clear.
