Expert Stump Grinding Services
Stump grinding is the most effective way to completely remove unsightly or hazardous stumps from your property. Grinding the stump below ground level eliminates regrowth, prevents pest infestations, and leaves the area ready for replanting, landscaping, or construction.
Standard Stump Grinding
Stumps are ground 6-8 inches below ground level with professional grinding machinery, ensuring they are no longer visible and will not regrow.
Deep Stump Grinding
For customers planning replanting, paving, or construction, stumps can be ground deeper than 8 inches to fully clear the space for future use.
Multiple Stump Grinding
Designed for properties with several stumps, this service efficiently removes them in one session, saving both time and cost.
Compact Grinder Access
Small, portable grinders are used in narrow or hard-to-reach spaces, making it possible to remove stumps even in tight backyard areas or through side gates.
Large Grinder Service
Heavy-duty stump grinders are deployed for large tree stumps or wide-open spaces, ensuring faster and more thorough removal.
Root Tracing & Grinding
Exposed or invasive roots that spread into lawns, gardens, or near structures are carefully ground back to prevent ongoing damage or regrowth.
Utility Safety Checks
Before grinding, underground services such as pipes and cables are located using specialist equipment and test holes, protecting your property from accidental damage.
Mulch Left On Site
Wood shavings produced during grinding can be left on-site, providing an eco-friendly mulch that helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds in garden beds.
Mulch Removal & Soil Backfill
If preferred, woodchip debris is removed and the cavity is filled with quality soil, leaving the area level and ready for turfing, paving, or planting.
Site Cleanup
All work areas are thoroughly cleared of debris, leaving your property neat, tidy, and ready to enjoy immediately after the service.
Emergency Stump Removal
Rapid-response grinding is available for storm-damaged or hazardous stumps that pose urgent safety risks or delays to building projects.
Termite & Decay Risk Removal
Decaying or infested stumps are eliminated to reduce the risk of termites spreading to nearby homes, fences, or healthy plants.
Landscape Restoration Assistance
Following stump removal, sites can be prepared for turfing, replanting, or garden redesign, helping restore your outdoor space quickly and effectively.

Step-By-Step Professional Stump Grinding Process
Our professional team follows proven procedures that prioritise safety while delivering superior results.
Step 01
Site Assessment & Preparation
We inspect access, mark underground utilities (using pipe locating if needed), and note stump size and species. This determines the best grinder and approach to protect gardens, structures, and other potential hazards.
Step 02
Equipment Setup & Safety Measures
Our arborists position compact or heavy-duty grinders to suit your site. We set safety perimeters and shields to safeguard plants, buildings, and bystanders.
Step 03
Precision Grinding Operation
We grind the stump and main roots to the required depth, typically 150–200 mm (6–8 in); deeper on request. Operators remove all visible wood while avoiding utilities and minimising disturbance.
Step 04
Mulch Processing & Collection
Grinding converts the old tree stump into a clean chip-and-soil mix. You can reuse it as mulch, or we can remove it on request.
Step 05
Site Restoration & Cleanup
We backfill and level the cavity with processed material or imported soil, as agreed. The area is left tidy and ready for lawn, replanting, or construction.

How To Know If You Need Stump Grinding or Stump Removal
Both options reclaim your space, but the right choice depends on access, future plans, and how far the roots matter. Our experienced team recommends:
Stump grinding is best for:
- Reclaiming space for turf, garden beds, paths, or shallow paving without major ground disturbance
- Tight-access Sydney yards or areas near fences, gardens, and underground services, where excavation could cause damage
- Keeping costs, noise, and cart-away low; fast, tidy results with optional chip-mulch reuse
- Eliminating trip hazards and reshooting by grinding the stump and surface roots below ground level
Stump removal is best for:
- Building works that need clear subsoil; foundations, retaining walls, decks, or pool installs
- Replanting a new large tree in the exact spot and needing full root-ball clearance
- Stopping invasive or suckering roots impacting pipes, drains, or paving (e.g., willow, poplar) by extracting major roots
- Managing disease or termite issues where contaminated wood should be removed from the site
