Fast stump removal. Grind to 150–200mm below ground. Same-day quotes across Brisbane.
A stump left in the ground is more than an eyesore. It's a trip hazard, a termite habitat, and in many cases a source of regrowth that becomes its own ongoing maintenance problem.
Stump grinding uses a self-propelled grinding machine to reduce the stump to chips below ground level typically within 30-90 minutes per stump. No excavation, no major ground disturbance, no waiting for chemicals to work.
We quote stumps from photos if the diameter and rough location are clear. Multiple stumps on the same property are usually quoted as a bundle the setup cost is shared.
| Stump diameter | Price range |
|---|---|
| Small (under 20cm) | $80 – $130 |
| Medium (20–40cm) | $130 – $220 |
| Large (40–60cm) | $220 – $380 |
| Very large (60cm+) | $380 – $600+ |
| 3+ stumps on same property | Ask for bundle price |
Most residential stumps cost $80–$250 depending on diameter and root spread. Large stumps (over 60cm diameter) or stumps with extensive surface roots can cost $300–$600+. We quote on-site or from photos.
We grind to approximately 150–200mm (15–20cm) below ground level. This is sufficient for lawn re-establishment and standard landscaping. Deeper grinding (for driveways or concrete slabs) is available on request.
No — stump grinding removes the stump and main surface roots. Deeper structural roots decompose naturally over time (typically 2–7 years depending on species). For most residential purposes, grinding to 150–200mm is all that's needed.
Yes, after filling with topsoil and mulch. Wait 6–12 months before planting directly over the filled hole, as decomposing wood temporarily depletes soil nitrogen. For lawn, you can top-dress and oversow immediately.
Stump grinding uses a grinding machine to reduce the stump to chips below ground level fast and cost-effective. Full stump removal excavates the entire root ball — slower, more disruptive, and typically only needed for structural work like driveways or foundations.
