Stump grinding in the RedlandsThe stump gone, the lawn back.

A stump left in the ground is a trip hazard, a mower-breaker and a spot nobody can plant. Our stump grinding takes it out to about 200 mm below ground level, so the space can be turfed, planted or paved.

Below the grass

What “200 mm” actually looks like.

The dashed line in the picture is about 200 mm below ground level. Everything above it is ground away. The roots below it stay put.

That’s deep enough to roll out turf, plant a garden bed or lay pavers where the tree used to be.

Tree and stump together

Taking the tree out? Ask about the stump too.

Stump grinding can be part of the same job as a tree removal. Mention it when you ask for your quote, so it’s priced with the rest of the work. The reviews above come from customers who had stumps ground as part of a bigger job.

The price depends on the size of the stump, how easy it is to get to and how many there are. Our stump grinding cost guide explains what changes it, and every quote is free.

Stump questions

Good to know before we grind.

Something else? Call Andrew on 0431 732 028.

How deep do you grind a stump?

Normally to about 200 mm below ground level, so the spot can be turfed, planted or paved.

Are the roots taken out too?

No. Grinding takes out the stump and the wood just under it. The roots below that depth stay in the ground.

What happens to the grindings?

They’re taken away, unless you’d like to keep them for your garden beds.

Can the stump be done with the tree removal?

Yes. Mention it when you ask for your quote and it can be part of the same job. See tree removal.

How much does stump grinding cost?

Every stump is different, so we quote each one for free after a look. Our stump grinding cost guide explains what changes the price.

How soon can you come?

We’re open 7 days, quotes are free and same-day service is available. Call 0431 732 028.
