Question 1

How does stump grinding work?

Accepted Answer

Stump grinding involves using a specialised machine to grind the tree stump into woodchip. This removes the entire stump and prevents regrowth, leaving the area ready for landscaping or other projects.

Question 2

How long does stump grinding take?

Accepted Answer

The time required depends on the size and number of stumps, but most jobs are completed within a few hours. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your property.

Question 3

What happens to the wood chips after grinding?

Accepted Answer

The stump is ground into mulch-like wood chips, which we use to fill the hole where the stump was. If there is excess woodchip or mulch, you can keep it for garden use.

Question 4

What type of equipment do you use for stump grinding?

Accepted Answer

We use high-powered stump grinders that efficiently break down stumps into wood chips. Our equipment can handle stumps of all sizes, from small backyard stumps to large, older ones.

Question 5

How deep do you grind the stump?

Accepted Answer

We perform FULL stump removals. We go as deep as necessary to remove the entire stump.

Question 6

Can I plant a new tree where the stump was removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes! However, to encourage healthy root growth, it’s best to replace some of the ground material with fresh soil before planting.

Question 7

Is stump grinding messy?

Accepted Answer

While stump grinding does produce wood chips and debris, we clean up thoroughly after every job to leave your yard neat and tidy.

Do I need to be home for the service?
