Stump grinding and stump removal

Old stumps get in the way of mowing, re-sprout and attract termites. We grind tree and palm stumps out below ground level, chase the main surface roots and leave the spot ready to turf, pave or replant.

How stump grinding works

A grinder chips the stump away into mulch, working down below the soil surface. We usually go 200 to 300 millimetres down, deeper if you're planning to pave or build. The grindings can be left as mulch or taken away.

Before we grind

We locate services where we can and ask about pipes, cables and irrigation near the stump. Tell us about anything you know is buried nearby.

Old stumps and leftover jobs

You don't need us to have removed the tree. We grind stumps left behind by other contractors or by previous owners.

When to call us

  • A stump is in the way of mowing or paving
  • Suckers keep sprouting from an old stump
  • You want to replant in the same spot
  • You've noticed termites around a stump

Stump grinding questions

How deep do you grind?

Usually 200 to 300 mm below ground, which is enough for turf or garden beds. We can go deeper for paving or building.

Can you grind a stump in a tight backyard?

Yes. Our grinder fits through most side gates. Let us know the narrowest access point when you ask for a quote.
