Granite City Stump Grinding
What customers say
Gardens left with multiple stumps after clearance work, along with driveways needing an old stump removed before resurfacing, make up much of the work handled by this Portlethen-based grinding specialist. Derek is named throughout as the tradesman carrying out every job, with projects ranging from a single stump positioned close to a gas line to as many as fifteen ground out from one property in a single visit. Ease of arranging appointments and flexibility around customer schedules are mentioned repeatedly, with one job completed successfully while the customer was away from home entirely. A point raised often is the tidiness left afterwards, with gardens and driveways cleared of debris once grinding finishes, leaving little trace that work had taken place. The equipment's quietness compared to expectations is noted in one account, alongside care taken to protect nearby features such as gas lines from damage. Communication throughout the quoting process is described as clear, with the scope of work explained before any grinding begins. Several households return for further jobs after an initial visit, including hedge stumps and additional trees ground out on later occasions. The business operates weekdays from nine until six, closed at weekends, covering addresses across Aberdeen and the Portlethen area.

I have used Derek twice first time I never met him as I was abroad and he came and completed the job efficiently and cleared up after. This time I was there and again he carried out the work efficiently and cleared up after. He is a pleasant tradesman to work with and would have no hesitation to use his services again.
Derek did a phenomenal job - he got the all the work done in spite of our very narrow access and boulder strewn lawn!
Derek provided excellent service removing stumps from my garden. He left the garden neat and tidy.
I was very impressed by the service provided! It was very simple, straightforward and easy to arrange. Derek worked to a timeline that suited me and got the job done quickly. He did a fantastic job of removing an old tree stump - my driveway looks so much better now. He also left everything tidy once the job was finished which was most appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this a considerate, professional and reliable business!
Derek did a fantastic job removing around 15 trees stumps. Garden looks great. A really hard worker, polite and at all times Derek was a pleasure to do business with. Well worth it. Highly recommended.

Great communication, nice tidy job and no messing about. If only all tradesmen were like Derek! Highly recommend, thanks.
