    Welcome to The Stump Man, a friendly tree stump removal service in Devon and Cornwall. We offer a fast, easy, and straightforward service to convert any tree stump to a pile of wood chips with minimal fuss and disturbance. Our machinery is light and won't leave a gaping hole, and we can grind out tree stumps and surface roots to a depth of 30cm, reducing the stump to a pile of woodchips. This allows replanting or ground preparations for extensions, lawns, or wall footings. We can also arrange to have the woodchips taken away if preferred. We've removed stumps of all sizes, including the largest one we've removed so far, which was nearly 5 metres in diameter. Plus, there's no chance of any re-growth with our tree stump removal service.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

Find answers to common questions about tree care and hiring professional tree service companies in UK.

How close to a house can you plant a tree?

The recommended distance for planting a tree from a house depends on the tree's mature size and root system. As a general rule, plant trees at least:
  • 10 feet away from foundations for small trees (mature height under 30 feet).
  • 20 feet away from foundations for medium-sized trees (mature height 30-70 feet).
  • 30 feet or more away from foundations for large trees (mature height over 70 feet).
Planting too close can lead to root damage to foundations, sidewalks, or underground utilities. It's always a good idea to research the mature size and root system of the specific tree species you're considering and consult with a certified arborist for guidance on proper placement.

What questions should I ask a tree service company?

Before hiring a tree service company, ask these questions:
  • Experience and qualifications: 'How long have you been in business? Are your arborists certified? What experience do you have with similar projects?'
  • Licensing and insurance: 'Are you licensed and insured? Can you provide proof of insurance?'
  • Safety practices: 'What safety measures do you take to protect your workers and my property during the project?'
  • Cleanup and disposal: 'What will you do with the tree debris after the job? Will you remove the stump and clean up the work area?'
  • References: 'Can you provide references from previous clients?'
  • Written estimates: 'Can you provide a detailed written estimate outlining the scope of work, costs, and timeframe?'
Asking these questions can help you find a reputable company that prioritizes safety, quality, and customer satisfaction.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in UK?

Whether or not you need a permit to remove a tree in UK depends on local regulations. In some areas, permits are required for removing trees of a certain size or those located within protected areas.
It's essential to check with your local council or municipality for specific tree removal regulations. Reputable tree service companies are typically familiar with local regulations and can help you determine if a permit is needed.

Why do tree roots grow above ground?

Tree roots growing above ground, also known as surface roots, can be caused by:
  • Shallow Soil: In areas with thin or compacted soil, roots may not be able to penetrate deeply and instead grow near the surface.
  • Soil Compaction: Heavy foot traffic, construction activities, or vehicles can compact the soil, making it difficult for roots to grow downward.
  • Low Oxygen Levels: Roots need oxygen to survive, and in poorly drained or compacted soil, they may grow near the surface to access more oxygen.
  • Seeking Nutrients: Roots may grow towards areas with higher nutrient concentrations, which can be near the surface in some cases.
  • Tree Species: Some tree species are naturally prone to surface roots, such as maples, willows, and poplars.
  • Age: As trees age, their root systems expand, and some roots may naturally grow closer to the surface.
Surface roots can pose tripping hazards, damage sidewalks or driveways, and interfere with mowing. Addressing underlying issues like soil compaction or drainage can help prevent excessive surface root growth.
