Stump Grinding Newcastle

While it’s not mandatory, stump grinding is highly recommended. Leftover stumps can become tripping hazards, attract termites or fungi, and sprout new growth. They can also get in the way of construction or lawn care. Grinding the stump helps restore a clear, usable space and prevents future issues.

Most stump grinding goes down 100–300mm below the surface, which is deep enough for grass or shallow planting. For construction or replanting a new tree in the same spot, deeper grinding may be required. The depth depends on stump size, tree type, and how the land will be used after grinding.

Yes, if there are pipes or cables nearby, grinding must be done with caution. It's important to check for underground services before work begins to prevent accidental damage.

In rare cases, stumps located too close to walls, pipes, or on unstable ground may be difficult to grind fully. In those cases, a partial grind or alternative solution may be discussed.
