Expert Stump Grinding in Chelmsford, Brentwood and Across Essex
When removing a tree from your property
Getting rid of the main trunk itself is often the easiest part of the process. It is the tree stump that is left behind that often proves the most difficult. Even relatively young trees have thick roots that bury deep into the soil. The traditional way of removing these was to cut down into the roots from above until they had been fully severed, then lifting the remains of the trunk from the ground with brute force.
This was tiring, back-breaking work
And it was always hard to guarantee that the roots and stump had been entirely removed. Fortunately, there is a solution. Modern stump-grinding technology can make short work of even the biggest and deepest tree stump and root system.

Site inspection
Before we go about removing your tree stumps, we need to make sure that there is nothing in the area that could be damaged by our machinery. This includes water and drainage pipes, electric cables, and more. If such things exist, we may need to remove at least some of the stump manually, though we can likely still grind the topmost parts, making the job a little easier.
Stump disposal
After we have ground your tree stump down to the roots, all that remains is a few bagfuls of shredded wood pulp. If you wish to keep this – perhaps for composting, animal bedding, or laying a drainage trap – you can do so. If you have no use for it, we can take it off your hands and return it to our timber yard, where it can be resold or used as biofuel.
Stump grinding
Once we’re happy that there is no risk to grinding the stump, we will get to work. A stump grinder is a powerful piece of equipment that latches onto the remains of the tree trunk. When switched on, sharp metal teeth dig into the wood of the stump at speed, grinding it into pulp and mulch. It’s a fast process, but a dangerous one, requiring the right training and experience to perform properly.
