Frequently Asked Questions About Stump Grinding North Shore
How much does stump grinding cost in North Shore?
Stump grinding costs in North Shore typically range from $150-$800+ per stump depending on size, access, and complexity. Small stumps (under 30cm diameter) start from $150-$250, medium stumps (30-60cm) range from $250-$500, while large stumps (over 60cm) cost between $500-$800+. Multiple stump packages offer cost savings. Contact John's Tree Services North Shore for accurate pricing based on your specific stumps.
How deep do you grind stumps?
We typically grind stumps 200-300mm (8-12 inches) below ground level, which is sufficient for most landscaping and replanting needs. For areas requiring deeper excavation or specific planting requirements, we can grind deeper upon request. This depth ensures complete removal of visible stump material and prevents most regrowth issues.
Can you grind stumps in tight spaces?
Yes, we have compact stump grinding equipment specifically designed for tight access areas including backyard stumps, stumps between buildings, and areas with limited access. Our smaller machines can fit through standard gates (900mm width) while still providing effective stump removal capabilities.
Do I need council approval for stump grinding in North Shore?
Generally, council approval is not required for stump grinding as it's considered maintenance rather than tree removal. However, if the stump is from a protected tree that was removed with approval, there may be specific conditions. Our team understands North Shore council requirements and can advise on any necessary approvals.
What happens to the mulch after grinding?
The mulch created from stump grinding can be left on-site for your garden use, spread around other plants, or completely removed. The mulch is excellent for garden beds, pathways, and composting. We can also arrange complete removal if you prefer a clean finish for immediate landscaping or construction.
Will stump grinding damage my lawn or garden?
Our experienced operators take care to minimise damage to surrounding areas. We use protective measures such as plywood barriers and careful equipment positioning. Some minor surface disturbance may occur for equipment access, but we restore affected areas as part of our service and can provide guidance on lawn repair if needed.
How long does stump grinding take?
Most residential stumps can be ground in 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on size and complexity. Small stumps take 30-60 minutes, medium stumps 1-2 hours, and large stumps may take 2-4 hours. Multiple stumps can often be completed in a single visit for efficiency and cost savings.
Can you grind stumps near buildings or fences?
Yes, we regularly grind stumps close to buildings, fences, and other structures. Our operators are skilled in working in confined spaces and use appropriate equipment and techniques to prevent damage to nearby structures. We assess each situation carefully and use protective measures as needed.
