Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding mechanically breaks the stump down below ground level, leaving the roots in place to decompose naturally. Full stump removal takes the stump and major roots out of the ground entirely. Which approach suits your garden depends on what you are planning for the space afterwards.
How much does stump removal cost in Pretoria?
Cost depends on the stump diameter, the wood type, root spread, and how accessible the area is for equipment. Get in touch with details of the stump and we can quote accordingly.
Will stump grinding damage my lawn or paving?
We assess the surrounding area before starting so we can plan the work around paving, irrigation and other features nearby.
Can I landscape or plant over a ground stump straight away?
Once a stump has been ground down, the area can usually be prepared for turf, planting or paving, ask us about timing when we quote the job.
Do you remove stumps left by other companies or previous tree felling?
Yes, we remove and grind stumps regardless of when or how the original tree was taken down.
