If you’ve got a stump left behind in Upper Cudworth, we can grind it out below ground level so you can turf, pave or replant straight over it — no digging the garden up to get at the roots.

How stump grinding works
A grinder uses a rotating cutting wheel to take the stump down in layers, normally 150mm to 300mm below ground level, deeper if you’re laying a base or replanting on the spot. What’s left is a hole filled with fine chippings, ready to top with soil.
Our equipment
We bring the right machine for the job — a large tracked grinder for bigger stumps and open access, or a narrow-access machine that fits through a standard gate or door for tighter gardens.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Upper Cudworth and the rest of Cudworth?
Yes, we cover Upper Cudworth and all of Cudworth, along with the surrounding villages towards Grimethorpe and Shafton.
Can you get into the older terraced gardens?
Most of our stump grinders are compact enough to get through a standard side gate or narrow passage, which is common in the older parts of Upper Cudworth.
Do you deal with stumps on the more rural plots nearby?
Yes, we regularly work on larger gardens and paddocks on the edge of the village where hedgerows and old boundary trees need removing.
How much does stump grinding cost?
It depends on the stump’s diameter, the species and how easy it is to reach. Send a photo with something for scale (a spade or a shoe works well) and we’ll give you a free, no-obligation price.
How deep do you grind?
Usually 150mm to 300mm below ground level. If you’re planning a patio base or replanting a tree on the same spot, tell us and we’ll grind deeper.
Will the stump grow back?
No — once the stump and the top of the root plate are ground out, the tree can’t regrow from it. A few species can send up suckers nearby, and we’ll flag it if yours is one of them.
Can I turf or pave straight after?
Yes, once the chippings are cleared and the hole is topped up with soil or hardcore. Let us know the plan on the day and we’ll grind to suit it.
How long does a job take?
Most single stumps take under an hour. Larger or multi-stemmed stumps take longer, and we’ll give you a realistic estimate when we quote.
Do you need permission before removing a stump?
A stump on its own usually doesn’t need permission. If the original tree was covered by a Tree Preservation Order, or the property is in a conservation area, it’s worth a quick check with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council first — we’re happy to advise if you’re not sure.
