Professional Stump Grinding Service Manchester – North Cheshire forestry
After a tree has been removed, you are often left with an unsightly and inconvenient tree stump. More than just an eyesore, a stump can be a stubborn obstacle, making it difficult to mow your lawn, posing a trip hazard for your family, and even leading to problems like fungal root rot or unwanted regrowth.
At North Cheshire Forestry, we offer a professional solution with our dedicated stump grinding service. With over thirty years of industry experience, we know that attempting to remove a stump yourself with basic tools or chemicals can be difficult, time-consuming, and often ineffective.
Even hiring a stump grinder without the proper training can be dangerous and may not fully resolve the problem. You can be left with large roots still intact just below the surface. North Cheshire Forestry avoids these issues by using state-of-the-art equipment operated by trained professionals to get the job done right the first time.

Our Stump Grinding Process Explained
So, how do we remove the stump? We use a specialist stump grinding machine equipped with a high speed rotating cutting wheel. The stump grinder grinds the root bowl down to well below ground level, reducing the wood to small chippings.
The benefits of professional stump grinding include:
- Complete Removal of Trip Hazards: The ground is left level and safe to walk over.
- Prevention of Pests & Disease: Eliminates a potential breeding ground for fungi (like honey fungus) and wood-boring insects.
- Stops Regrowth: Grinding the stump prevents the tree from sending up new shoots.
- Reclaim Your Garden: The cleared area can be immediately re-turfed, used for a new flowerbed, or prepared for a patio or shed base.
The process creates a mixture of soil and wood chippings which can be used as a mulch in other parts of your garden, or we can arrange for it to be completely removed from the site, leaving the area tidy.
