We use stump grinding equipment to grind tree stumps into wood chip, causing minimal disturbance.
The area is now ready to use. It can be turfed over, replanted or paved over.

We use a stump grinding (root grinder) machine, which chews up the tree or shrub stump leaving just wood chip which is left on site as mulch. This wood chip can be left to rot into soil, used as a mulch, put under a hedgerow or disposed of in a brown bin.
Stumps are ground down to a minimum of 15cm to 45cm below ground level, unless it is impractical or dangerous to do so - see our terms and conditions for details. Usually the size of stump grinder that we can get in will determine the depth that we can go down to. Sometimes the conditions of the surrounding area will determine what is possible.
No. If you are in our area we will come out to you and give you a quote free of charge. The stump removal prices depend on the size of the stumps, number of stumps, access for stump removal equipment and sometimes distance from Edinburgh City.
All that is left is wood chip, which is left on site as a healthy mulch for the soil. The surrounding area is left tidy with the chip backfilled into the hole. If there is too much chip from larger stumps, you can either put it on flower beds as mulch, put under hedge lines or even just put in your brown bin.
Yes, not a problem. In most cases you can seed, plant, pave or fence directly over the ground-down stump. You will probably want to put some top soil or compost into the hole first. If you want to plant a larger plant like a tree we often advise you to off-set the planting, so it is not directly over the old stump.
In almost all cases no. The stump grinding kills the stump, (and is the easiest way to kill tree stumps). Sycamore is very rarely problematic, but we will come back free of charge if you get any unexpected re-growth.
No we don't remove all the tree roots. We just remove the main stump and surrounding area to at least 15cm bellow ground level; with our larger machine we can get down to 45cm below ground level. We can grind down any spreading surface roots if it is required.
We can access anywhere and any width access - stairs / through houses / raised beds / confined spaces etc. Edinburgh Stump Removal have a range of stump grinders including a hand portable stump grinder. In some cases very large stumps will need to have reasonable access.
Most services should be below the 15cm to 45cm we go to. In the terms and conditions it states that the customer must inform us of any underground services in the area of the stump to be removed. Most often it is broadband cables that causes problems as they are often laid very close to the surface.
The tree stump removal price is determined by the size of the stump, machinery access, and how far from Edinburgh you are based. Customers are often surpised at how affordable our tree stump removal service is. For very small jobs there is a minimum stump removal cost which covers the call-out. This currently £90
Yes, we can stump grind any size stumps including even the smallest shrub and bush stump removals
