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 Bracken Ridge
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.
Tight access and large stumps
Hard access and large stumps are what we specialise in. Our machines run from really small to really big, so there is one narrow enough for a side gate and one big enough for a large stump.
When you ask for a quote, tell us how wide the access is, so we know which machine to bring and whether ramps are needed.
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
What is stump grinding?
Stump grinding removes a tree stump by cutting it away where it stands, rather than digging it out. A stump grinder uses a rotating cutter wheel fitted with fixed carbide teeth, moved across and down through the stump to chip the wood away. We grind the stump below ground level and take the roots as well, so you are not left with a stump that was only ground to ground level.
What happens to the wood chips afterwards?
The grindings stay on site. We rake them into a pile and blow off any hard surfaces, and what you do with them from there is up to you. If you plan to use them as mulch, Gardening Australia explains that micro-organisms breaking down fresh woody material draw nitrogen out of the soil to do it, so fresh chips compete with plant roots for nutrients.
Can you get to a stump in a tight spot?
Yes. Hard access is our speciality. Our machines run from really small to really big, so there is one that fits through a narrow gate. Tell us how wide the access is when you ask for a quote, so we know which machine to bring and whether we need to set up ramps.
