Why old stumps are worth removing
Many people think a stump is dead and harmless. It isn't always. Left alone, stumps can:
- Harbour fungal disease that spreads to other plants in your garden.
- Attract pests, including termites, which can put timber structures on your property at risk.
- Trip people up and get in the way of mowing, paving and new plantings.
Grinding leaves no trace of the stump, unlike digging it out by hand. It's also faster and less intrusive, and it stops most trees sprouting again.
Any size, any spot
No job is too big or too small. Whether the stump is on a slope, wedged into a narrow space or surrounded by garden, we have differently sized machines for most situations.
If the stump itself isn't a concern, we can treat it instead so it doesn't regrow.
Whatever you do, don't try to burn or blast a stump out. You risk damaging your garden or hurting yourself.
Roots are often why a tree came out in the first place. Camphor laurel and umbrella tree roots, for example, can damage drains, paths and foundations. Our Brisbane tree guide flags the trees to watch.
Our stump grinding process
Assessment
We check the stump's size, species, root depth and how close it is to structures or services.
The right machine
We choose the grinder that suits the stump and the access, for safe, efficient work.
Grinding
The stump and major roots are ground down methodically.
Clean-up
Chips and debris are cleared, leaving the ground ready for its next use.
What affects the cost of stump grinding?
Each stump needs a different approach depending on its size and the root system attached to it, so we quote every job for free after seeing it. Things that usually affect the price include:
- How wide the stump is
- How deep and how far the roots spread
- How easy it is to get a machine to it
- How many stumps there are. Across Brisbane, extra stumps on the same visit usually cost less.
