Stump Grinding vs. Full Stump Removal, Which Do You Need?
Many homeowners ask for “tree stump removal” when they actually need stump grinding, and vice versa. Here’s the difference:
- Stump Grinding: We use a hydraulic stump grinder to chip the stump down to 6–12 inches below ground level. The roots remain but decay naturally over time. This is faster, cheaper, and leaves no large hole to fill. Best for most gardens and lawns.
- Full Stump Removal: We excavate the entire stump and the main root ball. This leaves a large hole but allows replanting in the exact same spot. Ideal for building extensions, patios, or new driveways.

How We Remove Tree Stumps, The Northwest Trees & Stumps Method
Forget generic “readiness, operation, quality control” steps. Here is exactly what happens when you book us for stump grinding or removal:
- Free onsite assessment: We check access, underground utilities, and stump size. You get a fixed-price quote – no hidden fees.
- Site preparation: We clear rocks, debris, and any trip hazards around the stump. Your flowerbeds and lawn are protected.
- Stump grinding (most common): Our tracked stump grinder reduces the stump to woodchips, working down to well below ground level.
- Full excavation (if selected): For complete removal, we use a mini-excavator to dig out the stump and main roots.
- Clean-up & backfill: Woodchips are removed or left as mulch (your choice). Holes are backfilled with topsoil, and we rake the area clean.
- Final site sweep: We sweep and do a thorough check to make sure we haven’t missed anything.
✅ All waste removed from your property unless you ask to keep the woodchips.
Can You Remove a Tree Stump Yourself? (Probably Not, Here’s Why)
You’ll find plenty of DIY “hacks” online, burning, Epsom salts, or renting a grinder. In reality:
- Burning is illegal in many North West areas and dangerous near fences or sheds.
- Chemical rot methods take 6–12 months and rarely work on mature stumps.
- Rented stump grinders look easy, but kick back dangerously if you’re untrained. We’ve been called to fix DIY attempts gone wrong dozens of times.
