Stump Grinding in Dingwall & the Scottish Highlands

Professional Stump Grinding Services in Dingwall

Old tree stumps can be more than just unsightly – they can pose risks to safety, attract pests, and prevent new planting or landscaping. At The Highland Arborist, we provide expert stump grinding services across Dingwall, Inverness, and the Scottish Highlands to help you safely and efficiently reclaim your outdoor space.

Our fully qualified team uses professional-grade equipment and follows industry best practices to remove stumps without damaging your garden or surrounding structures.


What is Stump Grinding?

Tree Stump Grinding

 

Stump grinding is the process of removing the base of a felled tree using a specialist grinding machine. This machine chips away at the stump below ground level, allowing for grass regrowth or replanting while preventing regrowth of the tree.


Grinding stumps is the preferred removal method for:


  • Preventing fungal diseases and pest infestations
  • Eliminating trip hazards
  • Creating space for new landscaping or tree planting
  • Avoiding root damage to paths, patios, or drainage


This helps prevent trees from outgrowing their surroundings, reduces the risk of storm damage and falling branches, enhances sunlight for gardens and nearby plants, and maintains a balanced and healthy canopy.

Responsible Waste Removal

 We ensure all wood mulch and debris produced during stump grinding is removed responsibly. Where possible, wood is repurposed and dried for local firewood sales, supporting a more eco-friendly tree care service. 

Why Choose The Highland Arborist?

 

Our business is led by a degree-qualified arborist with a formal education in arboriculture and urban forestry. Unlike general contractors, we offer a level of scientific understanding and professional care that ensures each job is done right the first time.

We’re proud members of the Arboricultural Association and follow British Standards (BS3998) for all tree-related work. Whether we’re removing a small stump from a garden or dealing with a larger site, we carry out a full assessment beforehand. This includes inspecting the ground, checking for underground utilities, and ensuring there’s no wildlife nesting nearby. 


 We also operate with:


  • Rigging qualifications for complex or sensitive removals near buildings
  • Daily and six-monthly inspections of our equipment
  • Full PPE and barrier setups to keep everyone on site safe
  • A customer-first approach—no payments are taken until the client is 100% satisfied
  • We’re eco-conscious, safety-led, and committed to delivering results that last.
