James was responsive to our request for a quote, for felling a large ash tree we suspected had died. He replied to messages quickly, turned up when he said he would, and was correct that our tree had in fact died. James was professional the whole time and we would have no hesitation in hiring and recommending him to others in the future.

Local stump grinding experts
What is stump grinding?
Stump grinding is the process of removing tree stumps and roots from the ground using specialised equipment. This technique involves using a stump grinder, a machine with a rotating cutting disc that chips away the wood, reducing the stump to small wood chips. Stump grinding is an efficient way to remove unsightly stumps and prevent potential hazards or obstacles in your yard. It also helps to prevent the regrowth of trees from the remaining roots.
Cost of stump grinding
The cost of stump grinding can vary based on several factors, including the size and number of stumps, the type of wood, and the complexity of the job. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between £50 and £150 per stump. Larger stumps or those in difficult-to-access areas may cost more. For a more accurate estimate, it’s best to get quotes from local stump grinding and root grinding experts on Rated People.
How do I know if the job has been done well?
- Complete Removal: The stump and major roots should be ground down to below ground level, ensuring no visible remains.
- Minimal Disturbance: The surrounding area should be left intact with minimal damage to nearby plants or structures.
- Proper Cleanup: All wood chips and debris should be cleaned up, leaving the area tidy and ready for further landscaping or planting.
At Rated People, our tradespeople are reviewed by previous customers, so you can see if they have done a good job before hiring them. Additionally, read through the guide on our local gardeners page to find out what kinds of questions you should be asking beforehand.
Other stump grinding FAQs
Do I Need Permission to Grind a Stump?
In most cases, you do not need permission to grind a stump on your property. However, if the tree was protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or if you live in a conservation area, you may need to check with your local council before proceeding.
How Long Does Stump Grinding Take?
The time required for stump grinding depends on the size and number of stumps, as well as the difficulty of access. Most jobs can be completed within a few hours, but larger or more complex projects may take longer.
What Happens to the Wood Chips?
After stump grinding, the resulting wood chips can be used as mulch for your garden, helping to retain moisture and suppress weeds. If you prefer, the tradesperson can remove the wood chips from your property for an additional fee.

Apart from causing £350. worth of damage to my roof and electrics so far and ignoring my emails questioning why they didn't tell me. The job was done quickly and virtually to the agreed specification. Would I recommend them? Probably not just for not coming clean about the damage and not communicating. I had a quote from them for a fence which I was going to take up, also a couple of other jobs to quote for but I am now looking elsewhere. I have no confidence they will tell me if something goes wrong.
