How Aaron works
We got into stump grinding by taking on the jobs other people said could not be done, and by giving people who need a stump ground a high-quality service. That is still how we work. Hard access and large stumps are our speciality, and we quote every job and do every job ourselves.
- Aaron quotes the work and does the work, so you only deal with one person.
- Hours: Monday to Friday 8 am to 6 pm, Saturday and Sunday 10 am to 4 pm.
- Aaron is insured for this work.
- He has ten years in the trade.
Equipment for stump grinding:
- Stump grinders from really small to really big.
- Hard access and large stumps are our speciality.
What the job involves
From Aaron:
We grind every stump below ground level, and how far below depends on what is going in the area once the stump work is finished. Grinding out the whole stump is the outcome we aim for, but underground services do not always allow it.
If a stump runs a metre deep into the ground, we will not usually take all of it out when the job does not need it, but it can be done.
Before you book stump grinding in Bli Bli
How stump grinding works
A stump grinder chips the wood away with a rotating cutter wheel fitted with fixed carbide teeth. Hydraulic cylinders move the wheel sideways and down through the stump, so the stump is cut away where it stands instead of being dug out.
We take it below ground level and grind out the roots as well. Once the grindings are cleared, you will not find a stump that was only taken down to ground level.
Roots and regrowth
Some trees shoot again from what is left in the ground. The Queensland Government warns that failing to remove the roots or crown of a mature camphor laurel will result in regrowth, and Brisbane City Council notes that jacaranda resprouts easily if damaged.
Stopping at ground level leaves that material in the ground. We grind out the roots along with the stump.
Getting a quote
Every job is different, so we work out each quote case by case. It comes down to the size and number of stumps, how far away the job is, the ground conditions such as rocks, and whether we need the smallest machine or have to set up ramps to get in.
Send photos of the stump through the quote form, with the suburb and how wide the access is. You get a same-day response.
Common questions
Is stump grinding worth it?
A stump left in the ground takes up space you could use for lawn, a garden bed or a build. The Queensland Government has also warned that termite nests in tree stumps are a potential source of infestation in buildings. Grinding is only worth it if it is done to a proper depth, though. We have done regrinds for people whose first operator did not have the right machines, and that ends up costing you twice. We do it once and we do it properly.
Do you grind large stumps?
Yes. Large stumps are a speciality, alongside hard access, and we have machines big enough for them. If a stump runs a metre deep into the ground, We will not usually remove all of it when the job does not need it, but it can be done.
