Professional Stump Grinding Services in North Shore

Our standard stump grinding service removes stumps to a depth of 20-30cm below ground level, which is sufficient for most landscaping purposes including turfing and garden bed installation. For construction projects or where complete root removal is necessary, we offer deep grinding options that can extend to 50cm or more below ground level, depending on the root system and site requirements.

Yes, we specialise in removing stumps from difficult-to-access areas common in North Shore properties. Our equipment ranges from large commercial grinders to compact machines specifically designed for narrow gates, steep slopes, and restricted spaces. We can access most stumps requiring as little as 70cm width for our smallest grinders, making it possible to remove stumps from almost any location.

Stump grinding costs in North Shore typically range from $150-$750 per stump, depending on size, hardness, location and accessibility. Small stumps (under 30cm diameter) might cost $150-$250, medium stumps (30-60cm) $250-$450, and large stumps (over 60cm) $450-$750+. We offer discounts for multiple stumps on the same property.

With proper stump grinding, the tree will not regrow from the stump itself. However, some tree species in North Shore areas may send up new shoots from remaining roots in the surrounding soil. If this occurs, these shoots can be easily managed with herbicide treatment or regular removal until the root system depletes its energy reserves. We can advise on specific tree species that might require additional treatment to prevent regrowth.

Stump grinding uses a mechanical grinder to reduce the stump to wood chips, leaving the root system in place to naturally decompose over time. This is less invasive and suitable for most residential purposes. Complete stump removal involves excavating the entire stump and major root system from the ground, which is more disruptive but may be necessary for construction projects. We primarily offer grinding services as it's more practical and cost-effective for most North Shore properties.

Before our arrival, please ensure clear access to the stump, removing any decorative stones, metal objects, or debris around the base. Mark any irrigation lines, electrical cables or other underground services near the stump. For safety, keep children and pets away from the work area during grinding. No other preparation is typically required, as our team brings all necessary equipment and handles the complete process including clean-up.
