How much is stump grinding in Reigate?

From £120, with most single garden stumps between £150 and £350. Wide-rooting oak and sweet chestnut stumps on the greensand are quoted individually after a free survey.

Do you remove ash dieback stumps?

Frequently. Ash dieback has taken out a lot of trees across Reigate and Redhill. Ash stumps are comparatively soft and grind out quickly, so these are usually among the cheaper jobs we quote.

Do I have to be home for the work?

No, as long as we have access to the stump and somewhere to work safely. Plenty of our Reigate customers leave a side gate unlocked and come home to a finished, tidy garden. We send photographs on completion if you are not there.

Will the ground sink afterwards?

Backfilled grindings settle over the first few weeks as they compact and begin to break down, so a slight dip is normal. Top it up with soil after a month, or ask us to remove the grindings and import topsoil for a finished level straight away.

Stump Grinding in Reigate & Redhill

Reigate and Redhill sit on a band of greensand and clay at the foot of the North Downs, which produces well-anchored, wide-rooting trees. Oak, ash and sweet chestnut stumps here tend to have a broader lateral root spread than the same species on lighter soils, so grinding takes in a wider area around the visible stump than customers expect.

Ash dieback has changed our workload across RH1 and RH2 significantly. A large share of the stumps we now grind in Reigate are the remains of ash removed because of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. Ash stumps are relatively soft and grind quickly, which keeps those jobs at the cheaper end of the range.

Access varies sharply between the Victorian terraces near Redhill station and the larger plots on Reigate Hill and Wray Common. We check gateway widths and ground conditions before quoting so we bring the right machine on the day — a wasted visit helps nobody.
