Stump Removal FAQs

How much will it cost?

Our prices start from $45, the price will depend on the size of the stump and ease of access. We provide a free no obligation on site quote and in most cases if accepted we can do the job on the spot. Simply give as call to arrange a suitable time.

Any tips on reducing the costs?

Make sure the stump is cut as low to the ground as possible, as a result we do not have to grind as much. Note that we always carry a chainsaw and may reduce the height of the stump before starting anyway.

Not all stumps need to be ground down to 60cm below the surface. If you only need re-grass you may only want to go down 15 – 20cm.

We always try to leave the area as tidy as possible. This generally means raking the wood chips and dirt into a pile, however if your prepared to do this let us know as it can save us quite a bit of time on larger jobs.

Make sure the area is free of obstacles, this may include stones, pipes, branches etc.

Are you insured?

Yes we have public liability insurance to the sum of $1,000,000.

Do I need to be home?

Provided we can access the property and have a clear description of the job you do not need to be home.

Can the area be replanted?

Yes, in most cases the area can be replanted. Please note that the wood chips and sawdust left over from the stump are rich in carbon, as the wood breaks down it will absorb the nitrogen from the surrounding soil. We recommend removing as much waste as possible before replanting or using a nitrogen rich fertiliser.

Will the machinery rip up the lawn?

No, we take precautions to reduce the impact. Both of our stump grinders use use soft tyres, we do not have any tracked machines.

How soon can we do the job?

We can generally do within 24 hours of receiving the call.

How big a stump can you grind?

Provided we can access it, we can grind/remove it.

What depth do you grind to?

We can grind up to 60cm, however generally go to 30cm. If you have a large number of stumps and what to reduce the cost we can go to 15cm, this will be enough to re-grass.

Do I have to clean up?

No, the site will be left tidy.

Can you supply topsoil and re-grass?

Yes we can do this, additional fees may apply.

How close can you get to a structure?

We generally get between 5 and 10cm. We can get closer using other tools and saws if required.

How can I pay?

We accept cash, cheque, internet banking and EFTPOS.
