Hedge Stump Removal
When you remove a hedge, it’s important to finish the job, our hedge stump removal service concludes this process.
Often rows of hedge stumps are left over following hedge removal and tree removal in Aberdeenshire and Moray. These can look unsightly and take many years to break down, causing issues with mowing. As well as preventing replanting, fencing and generally being trip hazards.
We have several specialised stump removal machines called “stump grinders”. They are specialised machines for this purpose, removing stumps while causing minimal damage to the surrounding area. Traditional methods involve forcibly ripping stumps out, pulling out the attached root systems at the same time. Often very destructive to the surrounding areas and infrastructure. When the hedge has been growing near to walls or buildings it can cause huge damage which is ultimately quite easily avoided.
To keep our chemical use to a minimum and ensure our work is as minimally invasive as possible we have invested in highly specialised stump removal machinery. This is operated by our expert tree surgeons in Moray and Aberdeenshire, ensuring maximum safety at all times. Our machine has a wheel with metal teeth which churns up the stump and surrounding soil, leaving a mix of wood and soil mulch where there used to be stumps.
No need to dig, burn or saw stumps out, we can have the area stump free for replanting in no time at all.

It’s Simply the Best Way to Remove Hedge Stumps!
If you are not convinced that our hedge stump removal service is the right choice for you, we invite you to consider all of your options:
- Leaving It to Decay Naturally – The easiest and cheapest solution would seem to be to leave hedge stumps and roots to decay naturally over time. However, owing to their tough nature, this is a process that can take many years to complete. In the meantime, you have to contend with an unsightly and potentially hazardous tangle of stumps and roots in your garden. If you are managing a large area of commercial land and do not need to utilise the space currently occupied by hedge stumps and roots, it might make sense to leave them to decay naturally. However, if you don’t have almost limitless space and you need to get rid of them for aesthetic or practical reasons, you should pursue a faster alternative.
- Pulling Out the Stump With a Tractor – One of the most popular ways to remove hedge and tree stumps in the past was to attach one end of a large chain to the stumps and the other end to a powerful tractor, which was then used to literally pull the stumps out of the ground. While this can be an effective removal method, it lacks subtlety. As the stumps are pulled from the ground, all of the attached roots are ripped out at the same time. This action – ripping out the roots by force – can cause significant damage to landscaped areas, especially if there are any walls or fences in the vicinity.
- Using Chemicals to ‘Dissolve’ the Stump – There are a number of proprietary tree and hedge stump removal solutions available, which have been formulated to accelerate the decomposition process of tree and hedge stumps, as well as dead roots. Whilst some of the earliest solutions may have been avoided due to their impact on the environment, there are now several options that are acceptable to those of us who are concerned about following ecological practices. The main problem with all of them is the length of time they take to work. If you’re in a hurry to get rid of hedge stumps and roots, you probably won’t want to wait 6 weeks or more for them to decompose.
- Using Our Hedge Stump Removal Service – You might have expected us to promote our own hedge root removal and stump removal service, but we have good reason for doing so. If you are looking for a fast, cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution to your hedge stump and root problems, you will not find a better one than our service. We guarantee to take care of all stumps and roots in the most efficient manner possible.
With so many advantages to offer, we think you’d be mad to consider any other alternative. Call now and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have about our hedge stump removal service.
Testimonials
Trevor Bower2024-06-24I needed to thin an overcrowded small copse at the bottom of my garden. I am so glad I chose Epic Tree Care, as right from the beginning with the visit from Elaine to advise what the best solution would be, to the work being carried out by Jason and his team everything was excellent. The friendly men on site worked professionally and efficiently and with care to avoid any unnecessary damage to remaining trees and fences. They left the site clean and tidy, overall a pleasant experience. I would strongly recommend this company.Gale Solomon2024-06-13Great service with good tidy up, helpful and friendlyRosemary Carroll2024-06-04I recently bought a new home that had very tall, very unkempt hedges and a few rotten and self-seeded trees. Clive and Elaine's team were amazing from start to finish. Elaine came out to assess the job first and I told her my budget. She worked with it to get the maximum amount of work from it, and gave a timescale for the job to be completed by. The team appeared on time at the job and were polite, happy and very informative. They went over the job list to make sure I was happy. Then they got to work. Everything was done to an incredibly high standard. The equipment itself was very impressive. The professionalism of the team was really lovely to see. They even paused at regular intervals to tidy up around them! After they were finished, apart from a couple of pieces of twig that the wind caught, there was no evidence of them having been there! Three trees, one huge laurel type hedge cut back and a whopper of an evergreen hedge completely removed, roots and all, and all done in one day... An absolutely brilliant team. I won't need you again probably, but if I did I wouldn't hesitate to call, and I'll happily recommend you all day long. A trusted and reliable team and a truly epic service, thank you guys!Debra Whelband2024-05-23This company is to be commended! They have all the necessary equipment to make the project as seamless as possible, not to mention the safety gear provided to the staff. Jason was calm, polite and very approachable. Nothing was a problem. They removed a mature Sycamore in poor condition to a habitat stump for the birds and a Crown raise and sympathetic thin of mature Elm tree, which now looks amazing. I enquired about keeping the chippings from this tree and Jason advised to keep it if I had a place to spread it as hard wood timber makes great mulch. Be aware you need to leave it for 12 months if you want to used it around flowers/plants etc. They worked seamlessly and left the place immaculate. Considering the amount of shrubbery this was no mean feat. The costing was very reasonable and to my mind money well spent. Your business model is great!Lisa Rose2024-05-08Very efficient and professional service,excellent communication and friendly staff. Would highly recommend Epic Tree care.Alistair Law2024-05-01excellent advice delivered by a very nice and pleasant and knowledgeable young girlJulia Wright2024-04-02Epic Tree Care have pollarded our big sycamore. They have done an excellent job, very quick and so careful of the surroundings that nothing in the garden was damaged despite the tree being surrounded by borders, sheds and garages. Thank you, guys and thank you, Elaine for the excellent customer service, it has been a good experience from the beginning to the end.Lee Halsall2024-03-20Efficient , professional and affordable .

Their professionalism, efficiency, and tidy work were top-notch. Highly recommend their skilled team for anyone in need of tree services!Rhona Watson2023-11-05Carefully assessed the work to be done and promptly quoted. Agreed dates for the work to be done and came when they said. Carried out the work exactly as agreed. Team was organised and hard working. Tidied up well once the work was completed. I was particularly impressed with the stump removal and the care taken to make sure I was happy with the finished shape of the trimmed trees. Cost seemed high until I saw how many workers were in the team, what work was actually involved, how much wood had to be disposed of and the amount of equipment involved. I was completely satisfied with the work done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
