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 .

Jonathan absolutely smashed it

Jonathan absolutely smashed through a hulk of a stump, even with his small machine which we needed due to limited access. 100% recommended! Quick, efficient and effective 👍🏻

Stumpbusters

We had what turned out from a straightforward stump removal to an extremely awkward removal of half a hazel stump ( neighbour! ) they were extremely patient and sympathetic, and managed somehow to remove half a stump! So managed to keep all parties happy. So extremely pleased with there workmanship and professionalism in what turned into a very difficult job.

Great job - tidy, affordable, friendly, professional

The StumpBusters team came to my home recently and removed a tree stump from my front drive that I had been wobbling our wheelie bin over and cursing for years!

They did a great job. Turned up on time, were quick, friendly and tidied up after themselves better than my husband!

I would highly recommend them to anyone with tree stumps that need removing. Just get it done, it makes everything easier - especially when you call such a professional company in.

Left work unfinished

Contacted Stump Busters North East and arranged for a tree stump to be ground down to below ground level so the pavement could be resurfaced. They arrived on a Saturday morning when I was not there, rang to say the job was done and demanded immediate payment of £400 by BACS. When I saw the job on the Monday morning I was horrified to see the stump still sticking up above the ground and assumed they would be back to finish grinding the stump down to below ground level as agreed. However, having been paid, they refused to take my calls and nothing was done. It turns out that they are a local franchise of a national company called Stump Busters, so I called the head office who assured me it would be sorted. However, four months later, and after numerous calls and e-mails, there is still a foot of stump sticking up. I have now had to arrange to pay another company to do the job properly.

Removed a stump from our next door…

Removed a stump from our next door neighbours front garden and the mulcher sprayed our front windows and door with mulch. No offer to clean windows and doors.

Well Pleased

Paul turned up on time and began his work by cordoning off the surrounding area using portable net barriers to contain the wooden debris and laying down boarding for his machine to run on, his attention to his own P.P.E was also pleasing as was the way he cleaned up the work area afterwards, Excellent service

Excellent professional service from Zeb

Excellent professional service from Zeb and his team in East Hampshire. Paul worked incredibly hard grinding a large, old chestnut stump with great dedication and good humour...a big grateful thank you for the wonderfully level piece of regained ground left neat and tidy. Would thoroughly recommend.

Excellent Service

Excellent Service - we required a tree stump removal and 125 meters of sapling growth adjacent to a block of tennis courts at short notice. Jonathan came up with goods and carried out the work to a high standard. Also impressed by work attitude and clearing up after work was completed. Highly recommend these guys for first class service wouldn't hesitate using them again
