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.
Why grind a stump out
A stump sitting in the yard takes up room you could use for lawn, a garden bed or a build. The Queensland Government has named termite nests in tree stumps as a potential source of infestation in buildings.
It only pays off when the grinding goes to a proper depth. We have had to regrind stumps for people whose first operator did not have the right machines, and that costs you twice. We do it once and we do it properly.
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
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.
Do you clean up after stump grinding?
We do not offer a clean-up service. In ten years the most we have done is rake the grindings into a pile and blow off hard surfaces. A proper clean-up needs a tipper truck and a loader, and we would rather put that time into grinding stumps.
What areas do you cover?
North Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast: the Moreton Bay region, the Sunshine Coast and Noosa, plus Brisbane's northern bayside suburbs. The service areas page lists every suburb.
