Stump Grinding
Have you had a tree or palm tree removed and now have a stump in the ground? Has a tree fallen in a storm, and the stump remains? To remove these tree stumps, you may either dig them out by yourself (which takes a long time and a lot of energy, and there’s no assurance you’ll get all of the severe tree roots out) or hire us to remove them for you using our stump grinding machines.
Tree stump grinding is the process of tree stump removal. It entails grinding a tree stump below ground level using a machine. This prevents the tree from re-shooting and minimises the sight and safety hazards of a dead stump. It also makes the area surrounding your helpful space once again.
Brisbane Tree Care has been providing stump removal and grinding to Brisbane properties for decades. Our professional stump grind team can have your trees removed and remove stumps of all sizes from any area, including challenging locations near pools or small blocks).
Typically, we grind to a depth of 200-300mm below earth. However, we can go deeper if necessary (e.g., concrete driveway, footings, pool, etc).
Why You Should Grind Tree Stumps
As you know, stumps are stubby blocks that can disrupt the look of your yard and take up valuable space.
What most people don’t know is that unsightly tree stump cause potential hazards. The following are some of the dangers of keeping tree stumps.
Tripping Hazard
The first and unmistakable threat of tree stumps is their size. Tree stumps are far smaller than full-grown trees but not too small to be entirely safe. In most cases, stumbling across them results in a trip and fall. This is more common among kids and small children who are not aware of where they are walking.
Tree stumps, due to their size, create a physical barrier, particularly if they happen to be on a pedestrian route or in a popular location. However, accidently running into a tree stump might cause more than just a bump or fall.
In severe cases, it can result in significant bodily harm. That is why tree stumps may cause more than just an unsightly appearance in your yard. They can also hurt you or your family, necessitating the need for tree stump grinding or tree removal.
Re-Growth
Tree stumps are the remains of a cut tree, commonly believed to be dead and lifeless. However, tree stumps may and do re-shoot. Some may find this great, while others will find it frustrating. After all, the tree was most likely taken down for good reason.
As a result, once new leaves and branches emerge from tree stumps, they often become a liability. And with good reason: new growths in tree stumps are not unstable and unpredictable. They can also absorb essential nutrients and energy from the surrounding soil.
And let’s face it: re-growth on tree stumps is rarely (if ever) attractive.
It Could Rot
Tree stumps are particularly prone to rotting and decomposing because they are frequently lifeless chunks of wood.
That’s why homeowners often link the decaying process with removing the stump itself. This is usually a terrible idea.
Rotting tree stumps can lead to the following two dangers.
- The Rot will Encourage Fungal Growth.
A rotting tree stump creates a perfect environment for unwanted fungi and mould to thrive. These may spread fast and cause havoc on the tree stump and on the surrounding plant life. Fungus-like mushrooms grow fast and, if left untreated, can trigger a fungal epidemic across your garden. - Rotten Tree Stump Attract Termites
Fungi isn’t the only thing that thrives on a decaying tree stump. Termites, ants, and other insects and pests are quickly drawn to the decomposing material in a tree stump. The longer you keep a tree stump on your garden or property, whether it’s decaying or not, the more probable it is to attract animal and plant pests.

What is the Difference Between Tree Stump Grinding and Tree Stump Removal?
Stump grinding is the operation of a machine with a cutting head at the front. This is done using heavy earth-moving equipment such as excavators. The machine then moves back and forth over the stump, chopping it up into a mulch product. Removing tree stumps involves extracting the entire stump and root system from the ground.
