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.

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.
What happens to the grindings
The grindings stay with you. We rake them into a pile and blow off paths and driveways, but we do not offer a clean-up service: doing it properly needs a tipper truck and a loader, and we would rather spend that time grinding stumps.
If you want to use the chips as garden mulch, Gardening Australia explains that fresh woody material draws nitrogen out of the soil while micro-organisms break it down, which leaves plant roots competing with the mulch for nutrients.
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.
Do you check for underground services before grinding?
Yes. We arrange Dial Before You Dig for the job. Before You Dig Australia is a free service that supplies plans of the underground infrastructure at a job site before work starts. Services in the ground are also the main thing that limits how deep we can grind.
