Hello all, I've got a customer that is wanting us to dig out and dispose of tree stumps rather than stump grind, just wondering what companies people have used and rough pricings?

 

Based on the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk boarder 

I can’t help but wonder why the customer would want the stumps dug out rather than grinding! Surely grinding is the easiest option all round and you can dispose of chips in green waste areas if they want a hole leaving behind.

Well this is on a commercial scale, the stumps are roughly 600mm in diameter and there are 40 of them

 

 

Lol. Yeah I thought this was a homeowner with a stump or 2 question, I defer to the machinery people..

Getting rid of stumps will cost you an absoloute bomb at the green waste site.

Agree in principle. However, the local skip and recycling firm (quite a large set up) charge me £70 + VAT per ton for unchipped greenwaste. They are happy to take stumps in the load, but so far I have only had stuff I can lift with my little Bobcat E10Z. I did also have a customer who wanted some stumps to build her stumpery border with.

SPHN maybe?

 

Though can't see how complete removal from site helps disease control much due  the nature of fungi mycelium etc?

 

 

What happen to theese stumps in the end....🙂?

can they stay on site? Major extra costs if not. 

Unfortunately cannot stay on site as it's an extension of a driving range on a golf course.

Man, I hate golf courses.

Sorry if that sounds political, obviously it's part of my smelly hippy character, but what a waste of space.

Must be some where they could lose them on golf course. 

Justin Kingwell mulched a piece of woodland I stalk in early this year it was like a jungle before now like a lawn.

I still don't get why anything needs to be  removed  as  couldn't it not  all just be ground/mulched  into obilvion and then re-landscaped?

Can’t they be buried in a bund at the end of the driving range?
