Removing a tree is only part of the job. Once it’s down, the stump that’s left behind can become a real nuisance. Whether it’s in the way of your landscaping plans or creating a safety hazard, stump grinding is the best way to deal with it properly.
At Garwood Tree Services, we provide fast and reliable stump grinding across Brisbane, Ipswich, Toowoomba, Warwick, and surrounding areas. Our experienced team uses professional-grade equipment to remove stumps safely and efficiently—without damaging your yard.
What Is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding involves the use of a specialised machine that grinds the tree stump down below the surface of the ground. This method is far less invasive than digging and leaves the area ready for turfing, replanting, or paving.
The leftover mulch can even be reused in your garden. Unlike manual removal, stump grinding is cleaner, quicker, and environmentally responsible.
Why Stump Removal Matters
Leaving an old stump might not seem like a big deal at first, but over time it can cause several issues:
Safety Hazards
Tree stumps are a common tripping hazard for children, pets, and anyone mowing the lawn. Grinding it down removes that risk completely.
Pest Infestation
Old stumps can attract termites, ants, beetles, or even snakes. These pests often spread to nearby trees, gardens, and structures.
Unwanted Regrowth
Some trees attempt to regrow from the stump. This leads to ongoing shoots and root issues that can damage your lawn, paths, or plumbing.
Poor Curb Appeal
A leftover stump makes a property look unfinished or neglected. Removing it creates a cleaner, more spacious yard.
If you’ve recently used our tree removal service, we highly recommend grinding the stump to finish the job properly.
Our Process
At Garwood Tree Services, we make stump grinding simple and stress-free:
- Site Check
We inspect the location and confirm access, underground services, and surrounding plants or structures. - Grinding
Our team grinds the stump down well below ground level—usually 150mm to 300mm deep—depending on your landscaping plans. - Clean-up
We leave the site tidy and can remove or spread the mulch based on your preference.
