Stump Grinding – NSW Tree Loppers


Every tree removal service leaves a stump on the ground. The stump is the bottom trunk of a tree attached to the roots underground. Tree experts recommend removing a tree stump immediately. It is because it poses dangers and hazards to lives and properties.


A stump forms a hollow hole in the ground. It can cause children playing or people passing by to fall or trip and suffer injuries. As the wood in the tree stump rots, it can be a good breeding ground for insects like ants, rodents, and termites. These pests can invade nearby structures and damage them.

Ways to Remove a Stump


There are several ways to remove a tree stump. A tree stump can be taken out through burning, digging, and rotting. 


  • Stump burning starts with digging the soil around the stump. It is where a tree worker will put dry mulch or wood or petrol to keep the flame burning. It will take an average of 12 to 24 hours to completely remove a tree stump through burning. 


  • Stump digging means breaking up the soil around the stump to expose the roots. The tree workers then chop or cut the roots and detach them from the soil. It will now be easier to pull the stump and remove it from the ground.


  • Stump rotting uses natural nitrogen-rich substances like blood meal and compost or a chemical stump remover to accelerate the decaying of the tree stump. Both processes start by digging holes about eight inches deep around the stump perimeter. It is in these holes where the tree workers will pour the rotting agent. It will take around two to four weeks to rot a tree stump using a chemical stump remover. It will take around three to six weeks to rot a tree stump using natural nitrogen-rich substances.

Stump Grinding is the Best and Fastest Tree Stump Removal Method


The best and fastest tree stump removal method is through stump grinding. A stump grinder is a powerful machine with a circular saw that can chip or turn the wood of a tree stump into mulch. The mulch can be converted into green waste as compost or soil cover to retain moisture and water. A professional tree expert should perform stump grinding. It is to ensure the safety of lives and properties during the process. Stump grinding is environment-friendly as it avoids filling up landfills with unwanted waste.


The average cost of tree stump grinding in New South Wales ranges between $60 to $900. The price difference is significantly affected by the accessibility of the location, root spread, and size of the stump. If there are several numbers of the tree stump to be removed in one location, the cost can be lowered into a package price from the tree service company.
