Stump Grinding In Auckland

Tree stumps, roots and bamboo ground out below ground level, so the patch can be turfed, paved, built on or replanted - instead of mown around for another ten years.

Stump Grinding or Stump Removal?

People ask for both, and they mean the same result - no stump. Digging a stump out whole takes an excavator, leaves a crater and lifts the lawn, paving or garden around it. Grinding cuts the stump away in place, down below the surface, and the grindings can go back into the hole or be taken away. On a finished section, grinding is almost always the better way.

Stumps along fences, paths and houses

Stumps are rarely in open lawn. They are against a fence, beside a deck or up against a path, which is where the careful part of stump grinding is - taking the stump right down without touching the fence posts, the paving or the house. The before and after photographs below are a fence line like that.

Roots and bamboo

The surface roots running off a stump are ground out along with it, and so are bamboo clumps, whose root mass will keep sending up new shoots if it is only cut at ground level.

Old stumps from someone else's job

You do not need to have had the tree removed by us. Stumps left over from years ago, or from a previous owner, are ground out just the same.

Before and After

Stump Grinding Reviews

Gary and his team at A To Tree Services provide an awesome service. They did a fantastic job removing a tall and scruffy windmill palm at our place, plus stump grinding the base. Gary is excellent to deal with - responding quickly to our initial enquiry and giving a prompt quote which was very reasonable. The job itself was done quickly and professionally. The area was cleaned up well afterwards. Very happy customers. Thanks Gary and Tom

Very professional people to deal with. Arrived when promised. Trimmed and removed trees and roots where required and cleaned up afterwards

RichardNoCowboys, November 2018

Gary did a great job taking down a number of trees and a major trim of my tall hedges. As always, he leaves no mess behind. Very happy, great work and all at a very reasonable price.

Stump Grinding Questions

How far below the ground do you grind a stump?

Below ground level, far enough that the area can be covered with soil and turfed or replanted. If you are putting in paving, a path or a building, tell us so the depth suits what is going there.

What happens to the grindings?

They can be raked back into the hole and topped with soil, used as mulch, or taken away. We remove all the debris once the job is complete unless you want it left.

Will the stump grow back?

Grinding removes the stump below ground, which stops most trees coming back. A few species that sucker from their roots can send up shoots from roots further out; those are easily dealt with as they appear.

Can you grind a palm stump?

Yes - it is a common finish to a palm removal.
