Green & Co conducts safe and effective stump grinding and tree root removal services in Kent and the South East London region. Operating out of Orpington, we perform tree stump grinding in Bromley, Chislehurst and all surrounding locations. Our Lantra-qualified team works with domestic, commercial and industrial customers on jobs of any size. From narrow access locations to open and expansive sites, the tree stump removal work that we perform gives property owners the opportunity to maximise the potential of their premises.
Stump grinding services should be carried out soon after the felling of a tree. However, issues such as budgetary limits or inheriting an old tree stump with a property mean this isn’t always possible.
Regardless of how old a stump may be, the hiring of dedicated tree stump grinding and tree root removal specialists can rid a property in Orpington, Bromley, Chislehurst and the surrounding areas of these unsightly, dangerous features.
Our services play a vital role in eliminating hazards associated with tree stumps including:
- Trip Risk – At ground level, tree stumps pose a constant trip-and-fall hazard, even for those familiar with the layout of the property
- Disease – Removing the stump immediately after felling the tree minimalizes the spread of disease
- Suckering – Some species of tree stump have the potential to sprout multiple saplings if the stump is not removed
Perhaps the most appealing benefit, however, remains the vast improvement in aesthetics that comes following tree stump removal. As any property owner in Orpington, Bromley, Chislehurst and the neighbouring areas with a tree stump will confirm, they not only act as an eyesore but also limit possible landscaping projects.

Tree Stump Grinding | What to Expect
Here at Green & Co, our stump grinding and tree root removal services follow these essential steps:
- A member of our team may use a chainsaw to cut the stump as close to the soil line as possible. In the majority of cases, stumps can be reduced to a few inches above ground level.
- Having already selected the appropriate machine to suit the job, we position that stump grinder over the stump at hand. Our machinery ranges from the smallest at 66cm wide up to some of the largest and most powerful on the market. With the ability to fit through an average side gate, we take on tree stump removal jobs in Orpington, Bromley, Chislehurst and beyond with the narrowest of access.
- One of our Lantra-qualified personnel then engages the cutter head. This circular wheel comes equipped with carbon-tipped teeth offset at varying angles. When spun at high speed, the cutter head grinds down the surface of the stump.
- We bring the tree stump grinding process to a halt when we reach the depth agreed with the customer. For the majority of tree stump removal work, this depth can range anywhere between 20cm and 40cm depending on your requirements. This would need to be deeper if you were intending to lay foundations for a building project than if you were planning to lay turf.
- When the work has been completed, we backfill the hole with the resultant wood chippings. This mulch has nutrient-rich properties, so we also advise our clients in Orpington, Bromley, Chislehurst and the neighbouring areas to utilise it elsewhere in their garden.
As time-served tree stump grinding specialists, we assure our customers that we take every measure to protect their property during stump grinding and tree root removal work. From protective guards to prevent damage from wood chippings to minimising ground disturbance, Green & Co respects the sites we work on as we would our own.
At any point during the tree stump removal process, we’re always happy to offer advice to our customers in Orpington, Bromley, Chislehurst or the neighbouring areas. We like to help ensure that whatever step comes next runs just as smoothly as our own services.
