Description
We are Wigan Stump Grinding, and we are excited to tell you all about something that might sound a little boring at first, removing tree stumps. But once you learn more about it, you will see it is more interesting than you think. Most people do not spend a lot of time thinking about old stumps in their gardens, but we deal with them every day, and we have learned a lot of fun and surprising things along the way. That is why we wanted to share what we know with you in a simple way.
A lot of people think that we just dig out stumps with a shovel or pull them out with a rope. But that is not how we do it. Instead, we use a special tool called a stump grinder. This machine helps us break the stump down slowly into small bits. It works by spinning a strong, sharp wheel that cuts the wood into tiny chips. It does not yank the stump out all at once. Instead, it turns it into pieces right there on the spot, and we keep going until it is gone.

The stump grinder is a really cool tool. It has a big round part that spins fast, and on that wheel are strong metal parts called teeth. These teeth are very hard and sharp, and they’re made to cut through wood easily. They don’t actually "bite," but they do a great job wearing the stump down little by little. We make sure the teeth stay sharp so the work goes smoothly and quickly. Dull teeth make the job harder and take more time, so we take care of our tools to do the best work we can.
Every stump we work on is different. Some are soft and break down easily, while others are thick and strong. Some stumps are old and starting to rot, and others are from freshly cut trees. Even the smell can change depending on the kind of tree it came from. Some smell sweet and pleasant, while others hardly have any smell at all. And the roots? They can grow in all sorts of directions, sometimes making the job tricky. This keeps our work interesting—no two stumps are ever the same.
When the stump is all ground up, it turns into a pile of small wooden chips. These chips are not waste—they can actually be helpful. A lot of our customers ask to keep them so they can use them as mulch in their gardens. Mulch is great because it helps the ground stay wet, keeps weeds from growing, and even makes the garden look better. So instead of just throwing the chips away, we’re helping turn that old stump into something useful for your yard.
Another great thing about grinding stumps is that it stops the tree from growing back. Some trees try to grow again even after being cut down. They send up new shoots from the old stump, and before long, you might have several small trees popping up. But if we grind the stump low enough, the tree can’t do that anymore. This is a smart and easy way to make sure the tree is really gone and won’t come back.

Old stumps can also cause problems you might not see right away. They can attract bugs like ants, beetles, and termites. These insects love to live in rotting wood. Sometimes, even animals like mice or rats might make a home there. If they stay in the stump too long, they might move into other parts of your yard—or even your house. By getting rid of the stump, you’re also getting rid of a place where pests like to hide. That’s good news for anyone who wants to keep their yard clean and pest-free.
Getting rid of a stump also makes your outdoor space look a lot better. A dead stump sitting in the middle of your grass doesn’t look nice. It can make your whole garden seem messy. But once it’s gone, the area looks open, fresh, and neat again. You won’t have to mow around it or worry about someone tripping on it, either. That’s especially important if you have small kids, pets, or older family members who walk through the yard.
One thing people are often surprised by is how fast we can do the work. In many cases, we can finish grinding a stump in less than an hour. If you have more than one stump or a really big one, it can take a little longer, but it’s still quicker than other methods like digging or using chemicals. Digging can damage your lawn and take all day. Chemicals take weeks to work, and they aren’t great for the environment. Our machines are fast, and we clean up afterward, so your yard is ready for whatever you want to do next.
Stump grinding is also gentle on your garden. Unlike pulling a stump out by force, which can mess up the soil and nearby plants, grinding leaves the roots in the ground to break down slowly over time. This helps keep the ground in good shape. Plus, the leftover wood chips help the soil by holding in water and adding nutrients. So, instead of hurting your yard, grinding can actually make it healthier.

Seeks:
We use different stump grinders for different jobs. If there’s a lot of space, we might use a big, strong machine that can finish quickly. But if the stump is in a tight spot or the garden is small, we bring a smaller machine that fits through narrow paths. We always choose the right equipment to get the job done without harming your lawn or flower beds. We know how important your garden is, and we treat it with care.
