Got an unwanted tree stump in your Bournemouth garden? Whether it has been there for years or was left behind after a recent tree removal, we provide fast, professional stump removal and stump grinding across Bournemouth and the surrounding BH postcode area. Our NPTC qualified and fully insured team removes stumps of all sizes cleanly and efficiently – leaving your garden level, tidy and ready to use. We offer free, no-obligation quotes with no call out fee, and in most cases we can complete the job in a single visit.
We use compact, specialist stump grinding equipment that can access most Bournemouth gardens including those with narrow side passages, restricted gate widths and tight spaces close to walls and fences. Unlike chemical stump removal methods that can take months or even years to work, stump grinding removes the stump completely in a single visit – grinding it down below ground level and leaving the area flat, tidy and ready for whatever you have planned next.
Whether you are looking to re-turf the area, lay a new patio, extend a driveway or simply reclaim a neglected corner of your garden, our stump removal service in Bournemouth gives you a clean slate to work from. We remove all chippings and green waste from site as standard, or leave them for you to use as garden mulch if you prefer – just let us know when you enquire. With free quotes, no call out fee and over 1,000 jobs completed across Bournemouth and Dorset, getting rid of that stump has never been easier.
Stump grinding is the most effective and efficient method of stump removal available, and it is the method we use on every job across Bournemouth. Using specialist grinding equipment, we grind the stump down below ground level – typically to a depth of around 150mm to 300mm depending on your requirements and what you plan to do with the area afterwards. The grinding process breaks the stump down into a pile of wood chippings which can either be used as garden mulch or removed from the site entirely as part of the service – whichever you prefer.
Our stump grinding equipment is compact and highly manoeuvrable, meaning we can gain access to most gardens across Bournemouth including those with narrow side passages, close board fencing, restricted gate widths and trees growing in tight spaces close to buildings and walls. We can remove a single stump or work through multiple stumps across a whole garden or site in a single visit, and multiple stumps on the same appointment are generally more cost effective as the setup and disposal costs are shared across the job.
A lot of homeowners across Bournemouth leave stumps in their garden thinking they will deal with them at some point – but there are some compelling reasons not to leave it too long. Stumps that are hidden by grass or low vegetation are a serious trip and injury hazard, particularly for children and elderly visitors who may not see them. Many tree species will continue to put up vigorous new shoots from the stump and root system long after the tree has been removed, requiring repeated cutting back that becomes an ongoing frustration.
Rotting stumps attract wood-boring beetles, fungal growth and other pests that can spread to healthy trees, shrubs and plants elsewhere in your garden. They make lawn mowing awkward and take up valuable garden space that could be put to much better use. If you are planning an extension, new patio, landscaping project or any kind of ground works, the stump will need to go first – and the longer it is left the more established the root system becomes, potentially making the job more difficult and more expensive. Our site clearance service covers stump removal as part of larger ground clearance projects if needed.
If you are having a tree removed, we strongly recommend adding stump grinding to the same appointment. Having the stump ground out on the same visit as the tree removal is significantly more cost effective than booking it as a separate job at a later date, as the team and equipment are already on site and the setup costs are shared across the whole job. It also means the entire job – from tree down to ground level cleared – is completed in a single visit, leaving your garden ready to use straight away without the stump sitting there for weeks or months while you get around to booking the grinding.
Stump removal costs in Bournemouth vary depending on the diameter of the stump at ground level, the depth of grinding required, the number of stumps being removed, and the ease of access to the site. As a rough guide to help you budget:
Multiple stumps removed on the same visit are usually discounted as the travel, setup and disposal costs are shared. The most reliable way to get an accurate price for your specific stump is to contact us for a free, no-obligation quote – there is no call out fee and we will give you a clear fixed price before any work begins.

We typically grind to between 150mm and 300mm below ground level, which is more than sufficient for re-turfing or replanting over the top. If you need a deeper grind for construction, hard landscaping or paving purposes, just let us know when you enquire and we will quote accordingly. The depth required will depend on what you plan to do with the area once the stump is removed.
Most single stumps can be ground out in under an hour from arrival. Multiple stumps or particularly large stumps with extensive root systems will take longer. We will always give you a realistic timeframe when we quote so you know what to expect on the day.
Yes. Once the stump is ground out we fill the resulting hole with the wood chippings produced during the grinding process. You can turf or plant over the top relatively quickly – though for best results we recommend topping up with good quality topsoil before turfing to ensure a level, well-draining surface. The wood chippings will break down naturally over time and actually add organic matter to the soil.
Our equipment is specifically designed to minimise ground disturbance and we use tracked machines where the ground conditions require it to reduce pressure on your lawn. There will naturally be some disturbance immediately around the stump area itself but we tidy up fully before leaving and leave the site as neat as possible. Any minor lawn damage around the stump area can usually be repaired with a small amount of topsoil and grass seed.
Yes – we can remove all chippings and green waste from the site as part of the service, or leave them for you to use as garden mulch if you prefer. Just let us know your preference when you enquire and we will factor it into the quote.
Yes – we deal with stumps in tight spaces regularly across Bournemouth. Our grinding equipment has a compact footprint and can work close to walls, fences and buildings without causing damage.
