Simply Stumps

Simply Stumps are specialists in the removal of unwanted tree stumps using advanced modern stump grinding machinery. Based in High Wycombe and covering, Aylesbury, Amersham, Gerrards Cross, Beaconsfield, Marlow, Maidenhead, Windsor, Chesham, Thame, West London, Oxford and all surrounding areas, we provide a highly professional tree stump grinding service at very competitive prices. We tackle any size of stump, from a few inches in diameter upwards. Stumps and visible surface roots are literally ground into chippings which we believe is the most efficient method of destroying the stump. As the stumps are ground deep below the surface this and leaves the area ready for the next stage of garden design, re-turfing re-planting etc. The wood-chip created in the process makes an excellent mulch which is left behind for the customer to use around the garden. For more information, friendly advice and to get a free quote, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Scott has provided a fantastic service for us; he was prompt, courteous and friendly on arriving to quote for the work. He confirmed dates & worked hard to complete removal of the 150 or so stumps in the agreed time; it was a very impressive operation to watch. He was tidy, efficient and quick and we are extremely satisfied with his work. I am happy to recommend him to anyone.

Scott delivered a fantastic job that was supported by great service and good value for money. His service was quick, efficient and he left the garden tidier than when he started. Definite recommend.

Having found Scott's positive reviews via Which Local, I anticipated a high quality and expert service. He delivered on both counts. Following a rapid response for my email request for a quote to remove 4 trees stumps my only disappointment was being told it would take 2 weeks to get to me - Scott is clearly a busy man. When he arrived, we discussed the work and having overlooked a rather old stump, Scott agreed to include this 5th task as part of his original quote - brilliant and very generous. Having explored options to hire a stump grinder, I was very impressed by his tracked and clearly heavy duty machine. It fits through the average side gate and Scott got to work with little delay. As promised, he reduced the size of the stump with his chain saw and then ground the remaining wood to below the level of the lawn. Fully equipped with wooden screens, there was no collateral damage and I was left with a large pile of wood chipping in place of each stump. I finally got round to using the chipping on my flower beds today so I can confirm that I could find no trace of each stump. He also left each area tidy. Added to that, Scott is a trained arboriculturalist and he kindly offered some free advice with regard to planting. All in all, this was a great service well worth the wait and investment.
