Stump Grinding & Removal Sydney

A fast, effective way to flatten, cover and remove stumps after a tree is felled. We grind stumps out below ground level so the area can be turfed, planted or built on.

What we do

Stump Grinding & Removal across Sydney

An old stump is a trip hazard, gets in the way of the mower and can attract termites and fungi. Stump grinding is the fastest way to get rid of it. The grinder chews the stump down below ground level, along with the main surface roots, and leaves a mix of soil and woodchip that can be levelled and turfed or planted.

We grind stumps of every size, whether it is one small stump left from an old removal or several large ones after a tree removal. Grinding on the same day as the removal saves a second visit.

Before we start, we check for underground services such as pipes and cables, protect nearby windows, cars and paintwork from flying chips, and clean up properly afterwards.

What's included

Grinding below ground level

The stump is ground down so the area can be turfed, planted or paved.

Surface roots

Main surface roots near the stump ground out to stop trip hazards and mower damage.

Any size, any number

From one small stump to a backyard full of them.

Tight-access jobs

Stumps in backyards and side passages, not just open front lawns.

Services checked

We look for pipes, cables and irrigation before the grinder starts.

Clean-up

Grindings raked back into the hole or removed, and the area left tidy.

FAQ

Stump Grinding & Removal in Sydney: common questions

How deep do you grind?

Stumps are ground below ground level, deep enough for turf or a garden bed. If you are planning to build or pave over the spot, tell us and we'll talk about what's needed.

Is grinding the same as full stump removal?

Grinding removes the stump and main surface roots on site without digging out the whole root system. For most yards it is the fastest and tidiest option. Full extraction with an excavator is usually only needed for building work.

Will the stump grow back?

Some species can send up suckers from roots left in the ground. Grinding removes the stump itself and most species will not regrow. If suckers appear, they can be cut off as they come up.

What is left after grinding?

A hole filled with a mix of soil and wood chips. We can rake it back level, or remove the grindings if you want to add soil and turf straight away.
