Why Remove a Tree Stump on Your Claremont Property?
Eyesore, Tripping Hazard and Pest Breeding Grounds
A tree stump can be more than just an ugly leftover; it can become a tripping hazard, especially on uneven slopes like many properties in Claremont. Stumps can also attract pests such as ants, termites, or even tree-boring insects, putting your home’s foundations or garden at risk.
Root Regrowth, Damage to Lawn & Paving
Remaining roots can shift soil, lift paving stones and cause regrowth of the stump tree, undoing previous removal efforts. Full removal or grinding prevents those issues.
Prepare Site for Replanting or New Landscaping
If you’re planning a revamp of your yard, be it a patio, new lawn or planting, removing the stump and roots ensures the ground is clean and safe for the new design. On Claremont terrain with older trees, this preparation is key.

Tree Stump Removal Services
When it comes to tree stump removal, we handle every situation with precision, the right tools, and safety-first expertise. Whether you’re dealing with a single leftover stump or multiple old roots across your property, Michael’s Tree Felling offers complete solutions tailored for homeowners and businesses alike.

Stump Grinding
Our most popular and efficient service, we use industrial-grade stump grinders to shave down stumps below ground level. This leaves your yard flat, hazard-free, and ready for replanting or paving. Perfect for garden renovations and driveways where aesthetics matter.

Complete Stump Extraction
For customers who want the entire root system gone, we offer full stump extraction. This process involves digging out the stump and root ball, ideal when you plan to replant a tree or install new structures like pergolas, paving, or fencing.

Root Tracing & Removal
Hidden roots can damage paving, plumbing, and foundations over time. Our team uses root-tracing tools to locate and remove invasive root systems safely — without harming surrounding soil or plants.

Site Levelling & Soil Restoration
After removal, we don’t just leave a hole behind. We backfill, level, and condition the soil so your yard looks natural again. This service ensures smooth landscaping and helps prevent erosion or depressions later.
We offer full tree services in Claremont. Our range of services includes tree felling, tree trimming and palm tree maintenance.
