Stump Grinding Maidstone

There are some things you can do to prepare for a stump grinding appointment before Broadleaf’s team of arborists arrive on-site:

• Clear the area around the stump by removing debris such as leaves, branches, and rocks
• Mark any known underground utilities such as gas lines and water pipes; this will help to prevent damage to your property during the stump grinding process
• Create an easy route for our team to access the tree stump(s)

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, which will be loud. After the job is done, they will clean up any debris and mulch that is left behind.

Hiring a professional to remove your stump has several benefits. First, it will save you time and hassle. Second, professionals have the right equipment to do the job quickly and efficiently. Third, they can also provide you with advice on how to prevent stumps from growing back in the future.

Due to the nature of our work, we understand that not every job is the same and therefore it would be unfair to give you a price over the phone. If you’d like a free quotation and site visit, simply get in touch with our team, who will be happy to assist.
By having a site visit, you avoid any unexpected and unnecessary costs during the stump removal project. We will follow up on the site visit within 24-hours with a formalised quotation. If you are interested in any of our other tree and hedge services, we can also include that in your quotation. Our team is regulated by trading standards and follows their guidelines to ensure we champion the rights of our customers.

Yes, we do! We leave the area where we have been stump grinding nice and tidy. All waste generated by the tree work we carry out is taken away from the site. We use our wood chipper to mulch the arisings, and this is taken directly to our yard where it is processed into compost and re-used on a local farm as fertiliser. We try to be as green as possible at Broadleaf Tree Surgery Ltd, carrying out work as efficiently as possible to reduce our carbon footprint. For extra peace of mind, we are fully licensed and regulated to carry waste and dispose of it.
If you’d like to use the wood chips for your flower beds, paths, or garden, just let us know and we will be happy to leave them with you. We also understand that you may want to use the wood as firewood; if that’s the case, we will even cut it up and stack it for you!

As a professional company, we perform local authority checks on each and every one of our jobs. Our team have been dealing with local councils for years and have plenty of experience on where conservation areas are and what is and isn’t allowed. We don’t charge to do the planning applications or paperwork required, and we can offer advice on what is best for the ongoing management of your trees.
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.

The best time to have stump grinding done on your property is in the fall or winter. This is because the ground is typically softer during these times of year, which makes it easier for the machine to remove the stump. Additionally, there are typically fewer leaves on the trees, which means that the job will be less messy.
