While not always mandatory, we highly recommend stump grinding after tree removal. Leaving a stump behind can create a tripping hazard, be an eyesore, and attract pests like termites. Grinding the stump down below ground level completely removes these issues, allowing you to reclaim your space for new landscaping, planting, or construction.
Our professional stump grinding service typically grinds the stump to a depth of 150mm to 300mm (6 to 12 inches) below the soil line. This is sufficient to remove the main root ball and prevent any potential regrowth from the stump. The exact depth can be adjusted based on your specific plans for the area.
After grinding the stump, the result is a pile of wood chips mixed with soil. We can either leave these organic chips on-site for you to use as mulch in your garden beds, or we can arrange to have them completely removed from your property. This leaves the area clean and ready for your next project.
Yes, our team has a range of stump grinding equipment, including machines that are designed to fit through standard garden gates and navigate tight spaces. We are highly experienced in handling stumps in various locations, from open lawns to those situated in raised garden beds or close to fences.
The cost for stump grinding is typically an additional service and is not automatically included in our tree removal quotes. This is because some customers may prefer to leave the stump. If you are interested in this service, please be sure to mention it during your initial free quote consultation, and we will provide a separate, transparent price for the stump grinding.
