Stump and root-ball extraction

Mechanical extraction

Stump and root-ball extraction

We use mechanical extraction where the root ball also needs removing and site conditions allow. We assess stump size, access and surroundings beforehand; backfilling and final finishing must be included in the agreed scope.

Extracting a stump differs from grinding it or breaking up smaller roots with a rotavator. We agree how the extracted material will be handled and the required handover condition. Backfilling and subsequent groundworks are included according to your brief.

When to choose this service

For sites where the stump and root ball need extracting and conditions allow mechanical work.

Frequently asked questions

I need a stump and roots removed. Is extraction suitable?

We use mechanical extraction where the root ball also needs removing and site conditions allow. We assess stump size, access and surroundings beforehand; backfilling and final finishing must be included in the agreed scope.

Is extraction the same as stump grinding?

No. Extraction removes the stump and root ball; grinding breaks the stump down in place.

Does extraction include backfilling?

We confirm backfilling, handling of extracted material and levelling in the quotation according to the required result.

What do you need for an initial quotation?

Send the project location, photographs and approximate scope. Include the required result and access details; we will clarify any further information together.
