Stump Grinding & Removal in Dorset: Reclaim Your Outdoor Space

After a tree has been felled, the remaining stump can be more than just an unattractive reminder of what once stood there. Stumps can cause new shoots to grow, create obstacles for mowing, attract pests and make landscaping work difficult. That’s why stump grinding is one of the most effective ways to fully complete a tree removal. At Hawkins Tree & Fencing Services, we provide professional stump grinding and stump removal across Sherborne, Yeovil and Dorchester.

Why Remove a Tree Stump?

Tree stumps can create multiple problems:

Aesthetic Issues

Stumps can spoil the look of an otherwise tidy garden.

Regrowth

Many species send up new shoots, causing ongoing maintenance.

Trip Hazards

Stumps and surface roots create safety risks, especially in lawns or pathways.

Obstacles for Landscaping

They can prevent new turfing, patios, planting or fencing work.

Attracting Pests

Rotting wood can invite insects, fungi and disease.

Removing the stump eliminates these issues and allows you to reclaim full use of your outdoor space.

Our Stump Grinding Service

We use specialised stump grinding equipment capable of removing stumps of any size, from small garden trees to large, mature tree stumps. Our machinery grinds the stump below ground level, leaving the area ready for:

• Replanting

• Grass seeding

• New fencing

• Patio installation

• Garden landscaping

We also remove waste and tidy the area once the work is complete.

Stump Removal in Hard-to-Reach Areas

Our equipment allows us to access narrow side passages, tight spaces, or awkward garden layouts. Even difficult stumps close to walls, sheds or fences can be removed safely and effectively.

A Complete Service

For customers who have previously had trees removed, stump grinding ensures the job is completed properly. For new projects such as fencing or landscaping, removing stumps creates a stable, obstruction-free working area.
