Whether you’ve had a tree removed recently or you’ve been living with a stump for years, stump grinding is the most effective and efficient way to remove it. It clears the space, makes your garden safer, and prevents problems such as pests, rot, and unwanted regrowth. We offer professional stump grinding services throughout Leicester and surrounding areas, and our goal is always to provide affordable, reliable work that leaves your garden looking neat and tidy.

One of the most common questions we receive is: “How much does stump grinding cost in Leicester?” We understand that pricing is important when planning any garden work, so we’ve created a simple guide to help you estimate the cost of removing a tree stump based on its size. Of course, each job is different, but our pricing guide is here to give you a good idea of what to expect.

Our stump grinding prices are based mainly on the diameter of the stump. The larger the stump, the more time and effort it takes to grind it down properly. As of now, our pricing typically starts at £100 for smaller stumps and increases depending on size. For example, if the diameter of your stump is up to 20 cm, the price will usually fall between £100 and £150. If your stump is between 21 cm and 30 cm, the cost may range from £150 to £175. Stumps measuring 31 cm to 40 cm are generally priced at £175 to £200, and so on. As the diameter increases, so does the price, and for very large stumps — up to 120 cm — the cost could reach up to £400.

We believe in transparency and fairness, which is why we publish these price ranges. They are not fixed prices, but they give you a clear idea of what you might pay depending on the stump’s size. That said, every job is unique. Factors such as access to the stump, the type of wood, whether the stump is in a tight space or on a slope, and how deep the stump needs to be ground can all affect the final price. We always aim to be as fair as possible, and we never charge hidden fees.

We know that every garden is different, and that’s why we offer two easy ways to give you an accurate quote tailored to your specific situation. The first way is by sending us photos or a short video of the stump or stumps you want removed. Along with your photos or video, just include a short description of the stump’s size and location. This allows us to assess the work involved and give you an estimated cost without needing to visit right away. Many customers find this method quick and convenient.

The second option is a free inspection. If you’d prefer us to come and take a look in person, we’re more than happy to do so. We offer completely free, no-obligation visits to assess your stump removal needs. During the visit, we’ll examine the size, location, and surrounding area to understand the full scope of the job. Once we’ve completed the inspection, we will provide you with a written quote. This document will clearly explain what the job includes, the total cost, the estimated timeline for completion, and any other important details you should know before making a decision.

We want to make it clear that there is absolutely no pressure to accept the quote. We understand that sometimes people change their minds or want to get more than one quote before making a decision. That’s perfectly fine. Our free inspections and quotes are designed to help you make an informed choice, not to pressure you into anything.

The stump grinding process itself is quick, clean, and causes minimal disturbance to your garden. Our trained team uses professional stump grinding machines that are designed to remove stumps efficiently without damaging the surrounding area. The grinder works by chipping away at the wood of the stump and turning it into mulch, which can either be left behind to decompose naturally or taken away if you prefer a cleaner finish. Grinding is much less invasive than digging out a stump and leaves your garden in far better condition afterward.

Another advantage of stump grinding is that it helps prevent common problems associated with old stumps. Left alone, tree stumps can become breeding grounds for insects like ants, beetles, and termites. Fungi and rot can also take hold, and in some cases, tree stumps may even try to grow back. By grinding the stump well below ground level, we reduce these risks and leave the area safe and ready for whatever you want to do next — whether that’s planting new trees, laying turf, or even building a patio or shed.

We often get asked whether it’s worth hiring professionals or attempting stump grinding as a DIY job. While you can rent stump grinders from tool hire shops, we always recommend thinking carefully before going down that route. Stump grinders are powerful machines and require skill and experience to operate safely. They are also heavy and difficult to use in tight spaces. Our team is fully trained and insured, and we have the right equipment to complete the job efficiently and without damage to your garden or property. For most homeowners, hiring a professional service like ours is not only safer, but often quicker and more cost-effective too — especially if there’s more than one stump to remove.

We pride ourselves on offering friendly, local service to residents and businesses in Leicester. Whether you have just one small stump or several larger ones, no job is too big or too small for us to handle. Our goal is always to provide top-quality service at fair, transparent prices. Our team arrives on time, works safely, and cleans up after the job is done — leaving your garden just the way you want it.

Many of our customers contact us after having had a tree removed and discovering that the stump was left behind. Others have lived with an old stump for years and have finally decided to get rid of it. Whatever your reason, we’re here to help. Stump grinding not only improves the appearance of your garden but also adds value and safety to your outdoor space. If you’re unsure whether your stump should be removed, we’re happy to offer advice based on our experience and knowledge of different tree species, garden conditions, and future plans for the space.

If you’re ready to take the next step, getting in touch with us is easy. You can contact us through our website, by phone, or by email. If you already have a photo or video of the stump, feel free to send it along. If not, we can arrange a time that’s convenient for you to visit and carry out a free inspection. After that, we’ll send you a written quote with everything clearly explained — no confusion, no small print, and no pressure.
