If you’ve got a stump left behind in Cudworth Common, we can grind it out below ground level so you can turf, pave or replant straight over it — no digging the garden up to get at the roots.
Working in Cudworth Common
Cudworth Common lies on the edge of Cudworth, a former mining village just north of Barnsley, in an area shaped by the legacy of the coal industry and now largely given over to housing and open common land.
Access around Cudworth Common
Ground here is often flat, reclaimed former colliery land mixed with open common and residential streets, which generally makes for straightforward access compared with hillier parts of the borough.

How stump grinding works
A grinder uses a rotating cutting wheel to take the stump down in layers, normally 150mm to 300mm below ground level, deeper if you’re laying a base or replanting on the spot. What’s left is a hole filled with fine chippings, ready to top with soil.
Our equipment
We bring the right machine for the job — a large tracked grinder for bigger stumps and open access, or a narrow-access machine that fits through a standard gate or door for tighter gardens.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Cudworth Common as well as Cudworth itself?
Yes, we cover Cudworth Common and Cudworth together, along with the neighbouring parts of north Barnsley.
Is access generally easier on this kind of flat, reclaimed land?
Yes, the flatter ground around Cudworth Common usually means easier access for our equipment compared with steeper sites elsewhere in the borough.
What kind of stumps do you typically deal with in this area?
A mix of garden trees on residential streets and self-seeded growth on the common land itself, so job sizes here can vary quite a bit.
How much does stump grinding cost?
It depends on the stump’s diameter, the species and how easy it is to reach. Send a photo with something for scale (a spade or a shoe works well) and we’ll give you a free, no-obligation price.
How deep do you grind?
Usually 150mm to 300mm below ground level. If you’re planning a patio base or replanting a tree on the same spot, tell us and we’ll grind deeper.
Will the stump grow back?
No — once the stump and the top of the root plate are ground out, the tree can’t regrow from it. A few species can send up suckers nearby, and we’ll flag it if yours is one of them.
Can I turf or pave straight after?
Yes, once the chippings are cleared and the hole is topped up with soil or hardcore. Let us know the plan on the day and we’ll grind to suit it.
How long does a job take?
Most single stumps take under an hour. Larger or multi-stemmed stumps take longer, and we’ll give you a realistic estimate when we quote.
Do you need permission before removing a stump?
A stump on its own usually doesn’t need permission. If the original tree was covered by a Tree Preservation Order, or the property is in a conservation area, it’s worth a quick check with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council first — we’re happy to advise if you’re not sure.
