Frequently Asked Questions About Stump Removal

Find answers to common questions about stump removal and hiring professional tree service companies in the UK.

How deep do tree roots go?

The depth of tree roots varies significantly depending on the species of tree, the soil type and condition, and the availability of water and nutrients in the surrounding soil. Most tree roots will be found within the top two to three feet of soil; however, some tree species such as oak trees can have taproots that extend 10 feet or more into the ground. A tree's root system can expand well beyond the canopy's drip line. Understanding the root system's size and extent is important for any stump removal plan.

How to prepare for stump removal?

Before a stump removal appointment, you should:
  • Clear the area: Remove any items, such as furniture, vehicles, or equipment, from the area around the stump where the stump grinder will operate. This will ensure the safety and smooth operation of the equipment.
  • Mark underground utilities: Contact your local utility companies to have any underground utilities (gas, water, electric, etc.) marked before the work begins. This prevents damage to these important lines.
  • Protect valuables: Cover any plants, shrubs, or other landscaping features that may be near the stump grinding area to protect them from flying debris.
  • Inform neighbours: If the work will be noisy or disruptive, it's good practice to inform your neighbors in advance.
By taking these preparatory steps, you will help ensure a smooth and efficient stump removal service.

How long does it take for a tree stump to rot?

The time it takes for a tree stump to rot depends on factors like:
  • Tree species: Some types of wood decompose faster than others.
  • Climate: Warm, humid climates accelerate decomposition, while cold, dry conditions slow it down.
  • Soil moisture: Stumps in moist soil rot quicker than those in dry soil.
  • Fungal and insect activity: Fungi and insects can accelerate decomposition.

It can take 3-7 years, or much longer for a stump to rot naturally. If you need quicker removal, stump grinding is much more efficient.

What size stump grinder do I need?

Choosing the right stump grinder depends on the size of the stump(s). Stump grinders vary in size (measured by the diameter of the cutting wheel). Larger grinders are ideal for larger stumps, while smaller, more compact units can work in tighter spaces. Consider:
  • Stump diameter: Measure the stump at its widest point.
  • Accessibility: Consider your space constraints.
  • Professional advice: Consult a tree service professional.
Professional tree services often have different sizes of grinders to handle various sized stumps and access restrictions.
