The average cost to grind a stump ranges from £100 to £400 per stump but obviously a closer inspection will allow more accuracy.

Yes, the roots cannot grow once the stump is removed because roots need nutrients to grow that can only be supplied by the tree’s leaves.

Without the leaves, the roots die. It’s the leaves that supply the necessary fuel obtained by photosynthesis.

Any stump left in the ground can reshoot after it’s been cut down. It’s important to realize that any new growth will provide fuel to the root system. You should have any new sprouts removed as soon as they begin to grow.

The shoots should be removed by cutting them and a small piece of the root to which they are attached, this can be done using garden tools or with the use of herbicides. 

The stump removal process is the more intrusive of the two.

Grinding is much more efficient than stump removal, however, it does leave the tree's roots behind.

If the stump is large, the chip pile produced can also be quite large, but the chips can be used as mulch for other plants in your landscape. 

Burning the stump will weaken it enough to remove it without the use of expensive equipment or an incredibly long wait.

Of course, this method involves a controlled fire, so it comes with a few risks of its own.
