STUMP GRINDING

STUMP GRINDING
& REMOVAL

Tree King can remove any stump, any size and in any location Auckland wide.

WHAT IS STUMP GRINDING & REMOVAL?

When a tree is removed you will be left with the stump still slightly above ground level. With our specialised stump grinding equipment we grind the stump and surface roots below ground level.  A standard grind of 100mm below ground is plenty for grassing an area or you can request complete removal of stump and surface roots.  Complete removal can be necessary when replanting in the same area or when building on a site.

STUMP GRINDING FAQ’S

Can I plant in the same spot?

Yes it is possible. Sometimes the stump may need to be ground down deeper than usual, which may affect the price. Please tell us your requirements when requesting a quote.

How much will it cost?

Prices for stump grinding start at $200+GST. Our charge schedule is based on the size and type of stump to be removed, difficulty, accessibility, surroundings, terrain, soil rock content and other factors.

I heard its cheaper to dig the stump out. Is this true?

This is not true. Even the smallest of stumps are harder than they look to dig out, even with a large excavator. If you do manage to dig it out you are left with a large root plate that will need to be taken to landfill. Cartage and dumping fees can be expensive.

How deep do you grind?

100mm below ground is industry standard, which is fine for re-seeding lawn etc. We can grind down as far as 500mm. Please let us know when requesting a quote if a deeper grind is required.

There may be underground services located close to the stump. What do I do?

We recommend calling a service locator to mark underground services, if you have a feeling they may be compromised. The cost is approximately $180 + GST.  We will advise if this is necessary at the quoting stage.

I have a stump that is hard to get to. Can it still be done?

Of course! Tree King can grind any stump, anywhere! We are experts in tight access stump removal.

Do you need to visit for a quote or can I send a photo?

We recommend sending a photo with your enquiry. We can often give you an accurate estimate for the stump removal. If needed, one of our quote managers will complete a site visit and can generally complete the work right there and then if you’re happy with the price.

Can you remove bamboo roots with a stump grinder?
Our stump grinders are ideally suited for bamboo root removal. Read more on bamboo removal.
What happens to the grindings?

Small stumps can have the grindings back-filled into the hole. Excess grindings can be tossed in and around gardens as mulch. We can remove them from the site if required, for an additional fee. Please let us know when requesting a quote.

Right from the beginning, the team at Tree King provided me with fantastic and confident service. I have a rental in Auckland and needed a large hedge trimmed. I could not meet them on-site as I no longer reside in the area. I found the service outstanding, with excellent communication throughout the quoting and finishing of the job. If you have a rental and need a team you can rely on, then Tree King is your people and very trustworthy.I recommend them to anyone. I will be using this company again. They know what they are doing and have excellent prices. Thank you.

Tree King are our guys for any arborist work. The trees on our property are remnants of protected bush requiring precision and knowledge. Luke and the team are always professional and they have worked closely with the council to ensure the integrity of the trees are maintained.

Brilliant company to deal with. The team cut down a huge oak tree for us which had a good audience watching from the local café, then a big stump grind and the job was done, 2 days hard work completed from the team. We are very happy with the job you did for us and you are such a professional company to deal with. Thanks for everything.

Luke and the team were fantastic and were very professional. They gave a thorough written quote, went over and above to achieve what was agreed, and the boys did a fantastic job. They checked during and after to make sure we were happy with the work. I would certainly use their services again, and highly recommend them all!

Tree King is really professional and efficient. And the price is reasonable. They came to my place and trimmed several trees as well as removed 1tree within few hours. They are really amazing and easy to communicate with.

Very professional attitude to the business of trees. Quotation process, speed of arrival, and quality of the work were superb and well above the standard of other tradies we've dealt with. And what a great bunch of friendly guys doing the job. Totally loved their work ethic and ability to work in rough weather. Cute to serve them coffees on my deck - they so deserved them!

Tree King were fabulous, they were easy to deal with on the phone. Came round to scope job and provide us a quote very quickly. They kept us updated constantly on expectation of timing for job completion and did the job much more quickly than originally anticipated. Staff all very friendly and helpful, and left the property very tidy. We couldn't ask for anything more.

Luke, and his team are amazing, coming and removing two trees from my property and then grinding the stumps. I was really impressed. Great people to engage with, the lead of the team that came was brilliant checking with me what I needed and generally just making sure everything was done really well. He ensured that safety measures were in place, and that no other plant on my property was impacted. The professional way they went about the work, and these guys were true pleasure to watch as they clearly enjoyed their work. As an Executive Coach I watched with admiration at... the way they communicated and coached each other throughout the job. The site was left immaculate, and they cleaned everything from the driveway. It was as if the trees had never been there.Our job was a relatively small one, but all I can say is I’m glad I engaged Tree King, because from the time I contacted them, they assessed my job, gave me a very reasonable quote there were no surprises for me. They managed my expectations but exceeded them in delivery. Every step of the way this team was superb, and I recommend them completelyread more
