Stump grinding & removal
Gone below ground — not a hazard, not an eyesore, not a re-growth.
Stump grinding removes the stump and principal roots 150–300mm below ground level, letting you re-lawn, replant, pave or fence cleanly.
Why grind a stump?
Three good reasons, sometimes all at once.
Aesthetics: A rotting stump is ugly and it tends to get uglier. Grinding gives you a clean slate.
Safety: Stumps are trip hazards — especially where they're hidden by grass or mulch — and they foul lawnmowers.
Disease prevention: Honey fungus (Armillaria) and other root-rots move from dead stumps into living trees and shrubs nearby. Removing the stump slows that transfer.
How it works
- 1We assess access. Narrow gates, tight corners and boggy ground all change the kit needed.
- 2We cut stumps flush, expose major roots, check for utilities and stones that will blunt the cutter.
- 3Grind down 150–300mm below grade — deeper for replanting or paving.
- 4Clear, backfill, finish. Arisings chipped, hole filled with topsoil if requested, area left ready for its next use.
