Who we help

Fast, clean stump removal for any site

Foundation Site Clearance offers professional tree stump removal for homeowners, landowners, and businesses. We remove stumps of any size, leaving your land clear and ready for building, landscaping, or replanting.

The basics

What is tree stump removal?

Tree stump removal is the process of removing a stump and its roots after a tree has been cut down. This is often needed after tree felling, but it can also be done on its own, for stumps left behind from previous work.

Leftover stumps can get in the way of building, mowing, landscaping, or new planting. Removing them properly clears the ground fully, so you can use the space however you need.

Our tree stump removal service

A complete stump removal service

We offer a complete stump removal service, including:

Stump grinding

Grinding the stump down below ground level, so it's no longer visible or in the way.

Full root removal

Removing the stump along with its root system, where a completely clear site is needed.

Single or multiple stump removal

Clearing one stump, or several stumps across a larger site.

Stump removal after tree felling

Removing stumps as part of a wider tree clearance project, so the site is fully cleared in one visit.

Ground clearance and reinstatement

Leaving the area tidy and level once the stump has been removed, ready for turf, planting, or building work.

Need the trees felled first? See our tree and vegetation clearance and wood chipping services.

How we work

Five clear stages, from site visit to clean-up

  1. 01

    Site visit

    We visit your site to see the size and number of stumps, and check for anything nearby, such as pipes, cables, or structures.

  2. 02

    Planning

    We choose the right method and equipment for the job, based on the size of the stump and the condition of the ground.

  3. 03

    Risk assessment

    We carry out a risk assessment before work begins, to keep the site safe for our team and anyone nearby.

  4. 04

    Stump removal

    We remove or grind the stump, along with the root system where needed.

  5. 05

    Site clean-up

    We clear away the wood chippings and debris, and leave the area tidy and ready for its next use.
