Stump Grinding & Tree Roots
Stump grinding, when done properly, does kill tree roots. Usually, most roots, if they aren’t obstructed by pipes or cables, can be dug out or ground away. Some deeper roots may remain after stump grinding, however, these usually die off over time as long as most of the tree structure is removed.

What To Expect From Your Stump Grinding Appointment
Before our team of aborists arrive on-site, you should clear the area around the stump. This includes removing any debris, such as leaves, branches, and rocks. You should also mark any known underground utilities, such as gas lines and water pipes. Doing this will help to prevent damage to your property during the stump grinding process.
During the stump grinding process, you can expect our tree surgeons to take a few safety precautions, such as wearing gloves and goggles. They will also use a machine to grind away at the stump until it is completely removed. After the job is done, they will clean up any debris and mulch that is left behind.

Trees, even stumps, are sometimes subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). This is because trees are an asset and contribute hugely to an area’s biodiversity as well as providing a certain level of aesthetic appeal. Many village centres are within a conservation area and many old and large, or particularly important trees are covered by a TPO.
