If you’ve got a stump left behind in Nether Haugh, 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 Nether Haugh
Nether Haugh is a small, quiet hamlet next to Wentworth village, close to the parkland and mature woodland around the Wentworth Woodhouse estate.
Access around Nether Haugh
Expect us to ask about tree cover and root spread near boundary walls in this area — a lot of the gardens sit close to established trees, which we take into account when planning depth and access.

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 Nether Haugh and Wentworth?
Yes, Nether Haugh, Wentworth and the surrounding villages are within our regular working area.
Do mature trees near Wentworth Woodhouse mean bigger root systems?
Often yes — established parkland-adjacent trees can have wide root spread, which is why we look at the whole root plate, not just the trunk diameter, when quoting.
Can you work close to protected woodland boundaries?
We can, though anything actually within a protected woodland or estate boundary needs the landowner’s or council’s sign-off first — we’re happy to advise if you’re not sure where that line falls.
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 Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council first — we’re happy to advise if you’re not sure.
