Local Tree Stump Removal Service Northampton & Surrounds

Professional Service

Once a tree has been felled you are left with a stump. Now we all like the romantic notion of sitting on a tree stump but the reality is that they can be a bit of an eyesore, an annoyance and dangerous too. Like damaging your lawnmower when you need to cut the grass, and your children tripping over or getting splinters when they’re playing outside.

We're a local tree surgery with our base in Northampton, and we can provide a complete removal service where the entire stump including roots are removed from the ground. The other option is to  grind the stump down to ground level but leave the roots in place to rot. Which decision to make will be the choice of the customer and it can be a hard decision because each option has its benefits and drawbacks. Our team are experts at both procedures and we will talk you through the options so that you can make the decision that is right for you. Or you can decide after your tree has been felled and removed.  Because of our experience, Northampton customers have the peace of mind of receiving guidance to make the best choice.

If you are having a tree felled and removed, because getting rid of the stump requires extra equipment, it can be either be included in the total tree removal cost or quoted for separately. Usually it's better to wait until the tree is gone because only then can a more accurate assessment of the work be completed.

Why full local tree stump removal?

Once your tree is felled the stump starts to slowly rot and over time this means that it can attract carpenter ants and other damaging pests which can be a serious problem. The risk of the rotting stump being a hotbed for insect attacks and which carry the risk of spreading to other plants and trees and into your home is one many customers don't want to take.

Also, without removing stumps there is no room to plant new trees nearby because it can take over a decade for the roots to rot and until they do they will inhibit the growth of any new tree planted nearby. We have had a lot of experience with a well practised service across Northamptonshire and one of the main benefits clients say is that they have a clean slate to grow whatever they want next without fear or restriction.

The (temporary) downsides of stump removal

Of course a full removal where the roots also need to be dug out and removed is a more invasive procedure than stump grinding, requires heavier and more machinery and is more laborious. And immediately following the process there will be a large hole left behind that can be an eyesore, but our crew will fill in the hole with a mixture of topsoil and organic materials like compost and grass clippings, to restore essential nutrients to the soil.
