Thanks for the replies. To be more precise (I'm Edinburgh based) the quote was £450 + VAT for three stumps. Two of these are 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep to ground level, and the other is half those dimensions. I made a crude extrapolation to get £1000 for 10 stumps as the others are smaller - so I might even be underestimating the total bill based on the above. A rough idea of how quickly Joe Blogs with no previous experience could get through one of these larger stumps with a 13/20 HP grinder from a plant hire rental would be appreciated? Thanks S

Hi, I've inherited 10 large tree stumps in my house and my budget will not stretch to the £1000+ quotes to get them leveled with a professional grinder. I have read that one method is to apply a chemical into bored drill holes which makes the stump more porous, and therefore more conducive to burning. Is this recommended, and if so, can you recommend a suitable product? Many Thanks Simon
