Let’s talk about Stump Grinding! Along with the best Gold Coast tree removal and other services, we also remove tree stumps. We have a range of machines available to us to remove all stumps in any position. Stumps left in the ground not only can attract unwanted guests such as termites but can create a trip hazard or regrow causing you more problems. So if the stump is ground below the surface new lawn or a replacement tree can be added to this area.
Our machines can also prune those surface roots that are causing the lawnmower problems or you trip over every time you go to the clothesline.

Stump grinding machines
A stump grinding machine is a powerful piece of equipment arborists use to remove tree stumps completely like they were never there in the first place. The machine uses a sharp steel cutting disk that spins at high speed while the operator systematically grinds away at the tree stump.
Sure you can hire a stump grinder, but did you know this is actually more expensive, time-consuming and even dangerous to do? Hiring a stump grinder can cost $100’s a day. The equipment is often underpowered, worn and a safety hazard for those not used to operating them.
Stump grinders come in different styles and sizes, so they also take vastly different times to get the job done. You also need a trailer and time to pick up and drop off the stump grinder. You also need to know the location of any nearby pipes or cables lurking underground. DIY stump grinding costs can be much more expensive when you add all this up.
We’ve invested in only the best, high-quality equipment so no time is wasted grinding stumps into wood chips. Our professional stump grinding services also remove the chips from your property leaving it looking amazing afterwards. You’d have to be crazy to attempt DIY stump removal!

Stump Grinding FAQs
What happens to roots after stump grinding?
As we know, stump grinding is the process of grinding the remaining visible stump left over after tree removal into small and reusable wood chips. The most important thing to recognise, however, is that while every visible sign of your tree will be gone after it is cut down and the stump is grinded, the root system will remain in place.
In some cases, stump grinding machinery can actually complete the grinding process quite deeply into the ground - thereby grinding up much of the root system. However, most stump grinding operations leave most or all of the roots well alone.
Given that, you don't really need to worry about the roots re-sprouting and a new tree growing. With the tree and the stump both gone, the roots generally just rot away without you ever noticing it. This process usually takes enough time that there is also no need to worry about a 'void' or hole being left behind by the now-absent roots.
Can I plant a new tree after stump grinding?
While there's nothing stopping you from planting a new tree after stump grinding has taken place, professional tree experts and Arborists will not recommend it. Why's that? Because while every visible sign of the existing tree will be gone after it is cut down and the stump is grinded into wood chips, the root system itself will remain for quite some time and your new tree's root system may not have enough space or freedom to thrive.
Not only that, the old tree roots will gradually decompose over time, which affects the chemical composition of the soil - most importantly the acidity. Your new tree may therefore find it much more difficult to establish its own healthy root system.
If you really are keen to plant another tree precisely where a former tree's stump has been grinded, ask your local tree expert or Arborist about whether the existing root system can be completely removed and the soil composition fully restored.
