  • Following a Final Overdue Notice by Proleaf, no further notice will be given before commencing legal action to obtain the balance owed by the client.
  • Due to the potential hazards associated with stump grinding operations, we require the client to provide us with written confirmation of the location of buried utilities (including but not limited to gas, electricity and water), as provided by the utility locating authority, prior to commencement of this work. Failure to do so will result in the client taking full responsibility for any resulting damage to utilities and pipes.

  • Stump grinding depth can vary on client’s requests. If the client has not provided information on the depth required, then a general depth of 150mm is carried out. Depth can also vary on restrictions of area to be ground including but not limited to cables, pipes and access to stump.
  • Proleaf will grind the stump(s) down to the agreed depth, this does not include roots that extend away from the stump itself. These roots can be ground or removed if agreed prior to commencing work and is mentioned in the quote.
  • Stump grinding debris is not removed from the work site or disposed of unless negotiated prior with Proleaf, incurring an extra cost.
