One of the reasons why customers in the Surrey area come to us for stump removal, tree work, fencing and other services is that we always perform a thorough and professional job. While some tree surgery companies might leave stumps behind to decay naturally after felling a tree, we understand that they can be an eyesore for homeowners in Cranleigh, Cobham, Godalming, Guildford and Tadworth. They may even get in the way of your gardening plans. This is why we use the latest stump grinding machinery, from small models that fit through doorways to larger stump grinders for site clearances.
Grinding enables us to remove tree stumps without affecting the immediate surroundings or leaving a huge hole in the ground. This means that homeowners around Surrey and West Sussex can immediately turf, plant or pave over the cleared area.

Although it is possible to remove a small stump by hand, use a chemical, or allow it to rot, these methods are inefficient and can even be harmful to the ecosystem.
Stump grinding offers several advantages over these techniques:
Rather than waiting years for remnants to decay naturally, our skilled operatives can grind tree stumps down in just a few hours. This is particularly helpful during site clearances, prior to building and construction work, or ahead of starting a hard or soft landscaping project.
While some customers around Cranleigh, Cobham, Godalming, Guildford, Tadworth, Surrey and the South East like to make stumps a feature of their garden, others find them unsightly and pointless. Non-chemical stump removal is a popular aspect of garden clearance, restoring outdoor aesthetics and improving sightlines. It also clears garden space of an unwelcome tripping hazard.
While stump grinding machinery itself could be dangerous in untrained hands, letting a stump rot could result in insect infestations or fungi growth, which might be harmful to pets and children. Likewise, using chemicals for stump clearance can impact animals and have a harmful effect on the environment.
Tree stumps get in the way while you’re mowing the lawn. They can also encourage weed growth and even sprouts and shoots from the stump itself. This growth requires regular maintenance and adds to the workloads of homeowners in Cranleigh, Cobham, Godalming, Guildford, Tadworth and across Surrey who just want to enjoy their gardens.
With all tree work undertaken, LJN Ltd always considers its environmental impact. Stump grinding reduces even the most stubborn stumps into sawdust and wood chippings, which make an excellent garden mulch. In addition, when a customer wants us to take away this waste, we pass it on to the firewood division of our company, where expert personnel use wood chippings to fuel the biomass driers that produce our kiln-dried logs.
Whether you have an old stump in your garden already or want us to finish clearing the remnants after a tree-felling job, our stump grinders handle stump removals in no time at all, leaving you free to relax and enjoy your outdoor space.
If you wish to turf over an area where your removed tree stump once stood, we also specialise in reseeding. This will help to create a more natural aesthetic flow throughout your garden. Alternatively, we will happily add your choice of new saplings after we grind tree stumps, as part of our tree replanting service.
