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 looks after the whole process, from the quote to the finished job, so you 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 Caboolture
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.
How deep we grind
We arrange Dial Before You Dig for the job. Before You Dig Australia is a free service that provides plans of the underground infrastructure at a site before work starts. Services in the ground are what can stop us grinding out the whole 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
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.
Can a tree grow back after stump grinding?
Some trees can. Queensland Government guidance on camphor laurel says that leaving the roots or crown of a mature tree in the ground will result in regrowth. Brisbane City Council describes jacaranda as a tree that resprouts easily if damaged. We grind out the roots as well as the stump, rather than stopping at ground level.
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.
