Stump Grinding Leicester

As part of the professional stump grinding service we offer across Leicester, tree stumps are removed to a depth of 12-14” below ground level. Ground wood material is left on site and will rot down. If removed, a depression will occur.

There are 3 reasons why stumps can be removed.

  • 1. To create space for replanting
  • 2. Remove potential site for decay fungus
  • 3. Prevent regrowth.
