Wind-thrown trees leave lifted root plates rather than clean stumps, and that is a different and larger job than grinding. It is worth photographing before we quote, because the two are priced quite differently.
This page is about stump grinding here specifically — the ground, the plots and the access that shape how the work is done, in a town where the Tring gap funnels wind through the Chilterns and the trees show it.

Grinding in Tring Ground
A grinder meets the soil as much as the stump, and here that soil is dry chalk on the slopes above the town and wet valley ground near the reservoirs, two quite different soils within a mile. Stones, flint and old hardcore are what stop a grind short and blunt teeth, so on dry chalk on the slopes above the town and wet valley ground near the reservoirs, two quite different soils within a mile what surrounds the stump matters as much as the stump when the job is priced.
Where the Stumps Are in Tring
Stumps here turn up among exposed Chiltern gardens on steep ground, with willow and alder on the low wet land below, which usually tells us their size and their age before we see them. On exposed Chiltern gardens on steep ground, with willow and alder on the low wet land below there is very often more than one, and several in a visit is far better value than one at a time.
Reaching the Stump in Tring
Access here is steep drives and narrow lanes, with the garden usually above or below the road rather than beside it, and stump grinding is the one service where that is a question of possibility rather than price — a grinder is a wheeled machine that has to physically reach the stump. Because the Tring gap funnels wind through the Chilterns and the trees show it, the measurement worth taking before you enquire is the narrowest gate on the route.
What the Grindings Do to Tring Soil
A ground stump leaves a hole full of chippings, and on dry chalk on the slopes above the town and wet valley ground near the reservoirs, two quite different soils within a mile that matters more than people expect — fresh wood draws nitrogen out of the soil around it while it breaks down. Where a lawn or planting is going in afterwards among exposed Chiltern gardens on steep ground, with willow and alder on the low wet land below, the grindings come out and clean topsoil goes back.

Can you do other work at the same visit?
Yes, and among exposed Chiltern gardens on steep ground, with willow and alder on the low wet land below it usually makes sense to.

For stump grinding, photographs plus the width of the narrowest point on the way in — and because the Tring gap funnels wind through the Chilterns and the trees show it, those two answers are what turn a provisional figure into an accurate one.
