What is stump grinding?

Stump grinding is the process of removing tree stumps from a property using specialised equipment. The equipment consists of a cutting wheel with carbide teeth that grinds the stump down to below ground level.

This process leaves the area ready for seed or sod, and eliminates the tripping hazard and insect habitat that stumps can provide. It also improves the appearance of the property, giving you a cleaner and more visually appealing outdoor space.

Overall, stump grinding can provide a range of benefits for property owners, including enhanced safety, improved aesthetics, and reduced risk of insect infestations.

Glenn and his team were highly professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and did a fantastic job removing plus stump grinding our huge back yard tree and two smaller front trees. Greatly appreciated their clean up efforts.

JSJames StaleyFebruary 2026

Glenn did an amazing job. He went out of his way to get the job done quickly with the least mess, then followed up explaining the damage the cyclone had caused with the trees on our roof.

LRLaurellee RichesMarch 2025

Glenn and his team came within the hour to remove two trees leaning dangerously over my neighbour's roof with shifting roots. The crew cleared both trees in two hours.

DRDave RichardsonJanuary 2025

After being strung along by other companies for months I reached out to Glenn and his team. Not only did they give practical advice, they removed the dangerous branches and cleaned up the overgrown jungle that was my backyard. Best on the Coast.

TMTrudi MonteathJune 2024

Thanks Glenn. The boys did a great job removing a wattle overhanging my house. Professional job, prompt service, no mess, great price, and a follow up phone call to make sure I was happy with the work.

Stump grinding FAQ

The questions we get asked most.

If your stump is somewhere awkward, send a photo through with your quote request and we will tell you straight away whether we can reach it.

What is stump grinding?
It is removing a tree stump by grinding it down to a set depth below ground level with a machine fitted with a carbide cutting wheel. The stump is turned into chips, which leaves the area ready to turf or plant and removes the trip hazard and pest habitat a stump creates.
When should I get a stump ground?
Whenever the stump is no longer wanted, is a trip hazard, could attract pests, is regrowing, or is in the way of landscaping, a build or a pool. If it is tucked away in a garden bed, you may be happy to leave it.
Do I need to be home?
No. Stump grinding can be arranged and completed without you staying home.
Are you insured for stump grinding?
Yes. We carry $20 million public liability and QLD WorkCover, and we are CM3 accredited for all storm and insurance works.
Do you do a Dial Before You Dig?
Yes. We lodge a Dial Before You Dig enquiry before grinding, so we know where underground services run and can work safely.
Do I need council permission to grind a stump?
No. Grinding an existing stump does not require council approval.
Do you clean up afterwards?
Yes. We remove the sawdust and chips, backfill and level the hole, and leave the area clean and safe, or leave the grindings as mulch if you would prefer.
