Stump Grinding in Maleny
Stump Boss provides stump grinding to Maleny and the rest of North Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast, South East Queensland.
Aaron's stump grinding service in Maleny covers stumps big and small, including ones behind narrow gates, ground below ground level with the roots taken out.
Maleny is part of the Sunshine Coast area, covered by Sunshine Coast Council.
Maleny sits in the south-western part of the Sunshine Coast area.
How Aaron works
Attention to detail. We grind every stump out to a proper depth and take the roots as well, so when you clear the grindings away you will not find a stump that was only ground to ground level. We have had to regrind stumps for people who chose an operator without the proper machines, and that ends up costing them twice. We do it once and we do it properly.
- Aaron quotes the work and does the work, so you only deal with one person.

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.

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.
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.
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 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.
What areas do you cover?
