Appointment was arranged promptly and Dave got rid of all the hedge roots with ease and tidied up. Very reasonable price and saved us a lot of back breaking work. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend .

Stumpbusters smashed it!

Zeb Inker in West Hampshire and his brother Ben did a fantastic job for me.Arrived on time with modern equipment and proceeded to do a great job - really fast, clean and a very reasonable fee - I'm delighted.

28 Conifer stumps removed

Jonathan removed about 28 conifer tree stumps today some of which were from sizeable conifers. Getting down to a good depth was important to us which he was able to do enabling us to plant new shrubs and trees.
Added to which Jonathan is an extremely nice chap and thorough at his job. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent experience with Stumpbusters.

Jonathan came out to do what was quite an awkward job that some others had even turned down! He was really friendly, efficient and professional and I was really pleased with the result. Would definitely recommend.

Andy Marlow

Andy Marlow, West Yorkshire was great. Turned up when promised, did an amazing job in a very difficult to reach spot and tidied up afterwards. All this for what I considered to be a very reasonable price - I'd definitely recommend.

Highly recommended.

Did the job of removing tree stumps exactly as promised which i expected. However 5* rating earned because of the care and attention to all the important details like covering up our patio to minimise dirt, taking the time to grind stumps to match grass level, cleaning up afterwards etc.
Above and beyond and i would not hesitate to use them again or recommend.

Rastan was really nice

Rastan was really nice. He was on time, friendly and professional. It was raining really hard but he still worked away outside getting the job done. He left the garden neat and tidy and was careful to ask about things near the stump that might get damaged. I highly recommend Rastan for any tree stump removal.

Roger from Stumpbusters Beds & Herts…

Roger from Stumpbusters Beds & Herts was a pleasure to deal with, quoted a very reasonable price to clear an apple tree stump and replied to my phone call same day, arranging to come a few days later. Turned up on time and despite access being restricted, did a fabulous job. Leaving everything neat and tidy. Even gave me advice about turfing over a cup of tea!
