Expert Service
That stump in the back lawn is a mower hazard, a regrowth point and the thing stopping you from laying a flat patch of turf or paving. We grind 200-300mm below grade so the area can be backfilled and used again.
Narrow-track 700mm grinders fit tight side gates and terrace backyards. Larger self-propelled grinders suit open sites and multiple stumps. Surface roots can be ground down with the stump so you don't trip over what is left. We also handle tree removal, tree pruning and tree lopping across Sydney.
Service Features
Six stump-job types we run weekly across the service area:
200-300mm depth below the soil surface, enough for turf, garden beds, or paving over the top. Deeper grinding available if you're building.
Major surface roots ground down with the stump so they don't trip people up or push paving back out. Smaller deep roots decompose underground.
700mm narrow-track grinder fits through standard pedestrian gates. Reaches Inner West terrace backyards that 4WD grinders can't get into.
Per-stump price drops sharply once the rig is on site. Quote one, remove the lot, and save the call-out fee on the others.
Three options: haul the chips away, leave them for garden mulch, or spread them in place to decompose. Discussed before we start, not after.
Hole backfilled with chips + topsoil, area levelled, ready for the next thing. We don't leave you with a hump in the lawn.

Six concrete reasons to clear it properly the first time:
Fits through a standard 900mm pedestrian gate. Reaches Inner West terrace backyards and Eastern Suburbs side passages that 4WD grinders can't access.
Per-stump rate drops once the rig is on site. Quote one, remove the lot, and save the call-out cost on every additional stump.
Major surface roots ground down with the stump. No tripping over what's left, no roots pushing your new paving back out.
Gate width, slopes, nearby services and the finished surface are checked before the grinder is booked.
Site visit, depth and access agreed, price written down. No invoice-day variations on access surcharges.
Two decades of stump work across tight side passages, terrace backyards and larger open sites.
Our Process
Stump grinding is scoped around depth, access and what you want to do with the area next.
Diameter, species, root flare, side-gate width, slopes and nearby services are checked before the grinder is booked.
The quote confirms whether you need standard 200-300mm grinding or extra depth for paving, planting or construction.
Loose objects are moved, nearby plants are protected and the grinder is positioned safely.
The stump and major surface roots are ground below grade until the visible stump is gone.
Chips can be removed, left as mulch or used to backfill the hole, depending on your preference.
The area is raked and levelled so it is ready for soil, turf, planting or paving.

We typically grind 200 - 400mm below ground level, which is deep enough to allow replanting or lawn installation. The depth can be adjusted based on your plans for the area. If you're building a structure or installing utilities, we can grind deeper. Major surface roots in the immediate area are ground down as well.
You have three options: chips can be removed from your property, left for garden mulch, or spread evenly to decompose and improve the soil. Wood chips make excellent mulch for garden beds and around other trees. Your preference is confirmed before the job starts.
Yes, though the approach depends on what you're planting. For lawn, add quality topsoil over the ground chips before laying turf. For garden beds, the wood chips can be worked in as organic matter. For a new tree, plant slightly away from the exact stump spot to avoid remaining roots. The quote can include advice based on your plans.
Yes, we grind major surface roots in the area around the stump. This removes trip hazards and prevents regrowth, leaving a clean area ready for replanting or lawn. The extent of root grinding depends on the stump size and what you plan to do with the space. Any smaller roots left deeper underground decompose naturally over time.
