Stump and root removal

We remove stumps and obstructing roots. Depending on the site and its next use, we recommend grinding, root-ball extraction or root removal from the soil. Subsequent groundworks and preparation for new greenery are agreed within the scope.

What do you need to resolve?

A stump can obstruct mowing, new planting or landscaping. GREON offers grinding and mechanical stump removal in Prague and Central Bohemia. We choose the method around access and your plans for the site.

When this service can help

  • A stump obstructs the mower and you want to restore an uninterrupted lawn.
  • Your landscaping plans require the root ball to be removed too.

What we agree beforehand

  • The method and extent of removal are chosen for the site's future use.
  • Processing residue, backfilling the void and finishing the surface.

The result and follow-up care

Depending on your goal, we agree grinding, extraction or processing of material already removed. Backfilling, soil and lawn seeding are subsequent steps best included in the quotation from the outset.

An area clear of the obstructing stump to the agreed depth and extent. A lawn may require a different solution from paving or subsequent construction.

What to send for a stump removal quote

Stump measurements

Place a tape measure across the stump so its width at ground level is visible. Include the number of stumps and a wider photograph of the site.

Future use of the spot

Grinding the obstruction below the surface may be sufficient for mowing. For new planting or earthworks, tell us whether the root ball also needs to go.

Access width

Measure the narrowest part of the route to the stump. Note steps, slopes, hard edges and known utilities in the working area.

The site after removal

Grinding leaves a mixture of wood and soil. Extraction leaves a hole and a root ball. We agree removal, backfilling and surface finishing around your plans for the spot.

Questions before booking

Frequently asked questions

Grinding or extraction?

Grinding shreds a stump to an agreed depth. Extraction removes the stump and root ball, disturbing more ground. We choose according to the site's next use.

How deep can you remove a stump?

Grinding is possible up to 45 cm below ground. We agree the specific depth according to the purpose and site conditions; the maximum depth is not automatically included in the basic rate.

What determines the method?

Above all, the next use, required depth, nearby utilities and room for machinery. Grinding and extraction disturb the ground to different degrees.
