Stump Removal & Grinding in Cape Town
A leftover stump trips people up, sprouts new shoots, and gets in the way of paving and planting. We grind stumps well below ground level — or dig out the whole root ball — so the space is yours again. Insured, free quotes, Cape Town wide.
Our stump grinding process
Inspect the stump and roots
We check the size, species and how close the stump is to walls, pipes and paving so we pick the right method.
Grind or dig out
Most stumps are ground out below surface level with a grinder; larger ones we lever and dig the root ball out by hand where access is tight.
Backfill the hole
We rake the grindings back into the hollow (great mulch) or clear them out and level with soil — your choice, ready to plant or pave over.
Clean down the area
We sweep up the chips and leave the spot flat and tidy, with no tripping hazard and no regrowth.
Every stump grinding job is fully insured, quoted up front, and cleaned up afterwards.
