Do I really need to remove a stump?
Whilst you can leave a stump where it is, and choose to garden around the stump, they’re still a danger. You might think it’s too difficult to remove, but you’d be suprised how fast our professional stump grinding machinery can remove a stump.
Stump grinding is a mechanical process, where our machinery eats into the stump and grinding away the wood until the stump is completely removed. The sharp blades on the machine cut right into the stump in the ground and literally grinds it into chips. These wood chips can then be gathered and removed, used for your landscaping as mulch, or used in part to fill in the hole left by the stump.
There’s a lot of reasons why it makes sense to choose stump grinding and remove unsightly stumps. One is clearly a matter of aesthetic and convenience. An inconvenient or dying tree was removed to make more room in your garden and keep you safe, but when a stump is left behind it takes up that space. It’s easy to reclaim your garden from any stumps regardless of their size.
If you’ve removed a tree the last thing you want to see is a stump with green shoots. Just because you chop down a tree doesn’t mean the entire tree is dead. In fact, the roots can remain active under the ground and lead to suckering sprouts that pop up along the perimeter of the stump, making for a rather useless and unhealthy tree. Stump grinding ensures the tree is removed, and won’t start to grow back.
And branches aren’t the only things that can develop in a leftover stump. One of the most treacherous are termites who can take up residence in the leftover and rotting wood. Other pests like carpenter ants and diseases or fungi can fester in the remnants of a stump, leaving you with double the trouble later.
Stump removal in tight spots
Think your stump might be in a difficult to access location? That’s why it’s important to choose a licensed, insured, and certified arborist for your job. We have the right equipment for the work, including everything from machines that can go up (or down) steep slopes to tight access machines that can fit into the tighest of spaces.
When you’re talking to an arborist, you’ll want to make sure that they are also able to grind well below ground level so you are able to completely remove the stump and cover up any traces of it.
Our stump grinders are commercial grade designed for professional use. If you’ve ever tried to DIY you might’ve struggled with a lower grade rental units that wasn’t up to the job for your specific stump. Our machines make light work of any stump, but using a less powerful machine could mean that you’re still left with a stump after hours of work!
What to expect with stump grinding on the Gold Coast
First things first: be sure to hire an actual certified arborist with the right equipment and not a fly-by-night landscaper who claims they can do stump removal. You’ll need to work with the pros to make sure that everything is not only done to your satisfaction but also safely and properly when it comes to machinery.
There are several different kinds of stump grinders, and we select the right one for the size and location of your stump. For example, there are hand guided narrow grinders as well as riding grinders and wheeled grinders that are much larger and able to tackle larger stumps.
The grinder will be placed over the area where the stump is located. Once turned on, the rotating blades on the machine will begin to work their way into the wood and literally grind them into small chips or pieces. The grinder will continue to push forward or down into the stump until our team stops it to check on the depth and remaining stump material. Wood chips are cleared and collected along the way when safe.
The great news about stump grinding is that it doesn’t take long to complete a job once all of the proper equipment is in place. Most stumps take just 30 minutes to a few hours to grind down.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stump Grinding on the Gold Coast
Not necessarily. Most of the time, the wood chips and dirt that are turned up during the grinding process are collected and used to fill in the hole that’s left where the stump once was. This can be removed later if you prefer to fill in with something different or have ideas for planting.
Sure! Most grinding will go low enough to make room for new plantings including small trees and grasses.
Technically, yes, but who would want to? Sure, you can rent stump grinders, typically for over $100 a day, and take on the project yourself. But you’re more likely to spend much more time and energy on the removal as an inexperienced operator than the project would take in the hands of the professionals. It’s also likely to cost you less to go with the pros.
Unfortunately, no. When cutting down a tree, arborists aren’t able to safely cut flush with the ground. This means that when you have a tree removed, you can count on their being a stump. However, you can also ask about grinding services if you are having tree removal done on your property.
