Stump Removal & Grinding

That stump is an eyesore, and a trip hazard. We grind it down below ground level, leaving nothing but loose chippings to backfill with.

Common Questions

What people usually want to know

Do I need permission to have a tree removed on my property?

In many Gauteng municipalities, certain protected or large-caliper trees require a removal permit from your local council before we can fell them. We're familiar with the process and can advise you during our on-site quote, in most standard residential cases it's straightforward and we'll point you in the right direction.

What happens to all the wood and debris afterwards?

Clean-up and eco recycling are always included in our price. Timber is either chipped into mulch on-site or taken away for responsible disposal. We don't leave piles of wood or brush behind, the site is tidy when we leave, full stop.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency call-out?

We maintain 24/7 emergency availability. Response times depend on our current workload and your location, but we'll give you an honest ETA when you call. For urgent situations, a tree on a roof, a blocked road, we prioritise as fast as we safely can.
