The Travis Arb tipper and chipper on a garden job in Widnes

Stump grinding in St Helens, Merseyside and Cheshire

Stump grinding.
Stumps out, ground levelled.

Our own stump grinder takes an old stump out below the surface, so the ground can be levelled, turfed or planted again.

    The tree, the access and anything nearby checked first.

What affects the price.

Every quote is set by the job itself, and these five things move it most.

  • Size

    How wide the stump is.

  • Access

    Whether the grinder fits through the gate or along the path.

  • What is nearby

    How close it sits to a building, a wall or a path.

  • Waste

    How much there is to clear once the stump is out.

  • How many

    One stump or several.

Questions.

Can you grind a stump in a back garden?

Usually, yes. Send a photo of the stump and the way into the garden when you ask for a quote.

Is the ground left level?

Yes. Once the stump is ground out, the grindings are cleared and the ground is levelled, as in the photo above.

Can you grind the stump when you take the tree down?

Yes. We run our own stump grinder, so the stump can be ground out once the tree is down.

Are you insured?

Yes. Travis Arb carries £5m public liability and £10m employers’ liability insurance, and the whole team is Forestry First Aid trained.
