How deep do you grind?

Typically 150 to 300mm below ground level, which is enough for returfing and most replanting, and deeper by arrangement where construction follows.

Stump Grinding & Removal in Swanage

Stumps ground out cleanly, ready for lawn, planting or paving.

A leftover stump gets in the way of mowing, invites honey fungus, and keeps sending up regrowth. Our grinders, including narrow-access machines that fit through a standard garden gate, grind stumps well below ground level so you can replant, returf or build over the spot.

Working in Swanage

Just over the hill from our Wareham base, Swanage is home ground for Heartwood. We carry out tree surgery, stump grinding, hedge reductions and emergency storm work across the town, from Herston to Ballard Down.

Much of Swanage sits within conservation areas where tree works need six weeks' notice to Dorset Council. We check every address and handle notifications for you.
