Eastern Bays and East Auckland gardens aren’t always easy to reach. Our 40kg Alpine Magnum can be carried through narrow gates, up steps and into raised beds, so there’s no need to bring a large machine onto your section. It still handles big stumps.
Call, email or send the quote form with your suburb, the stump size and how we get to it.

We grind the stump below ground level and rake the mulch back into the hole, so the space is ready for what’s next.
After grinding, the stump is chipped away below ground level and the mulch is raked back into the hole. Once it settles, you can turf over it, plant into it or lay paving. Tell us your plans and we’ll grind to the right depth.
How stump grinding works
From Mission Bay and St Heliers to Howick, Pakuranga and Botany, we help homeowners get their gardens back. The rest of Auckland is covered too.
Most single residential stumps cost between $150 and $350 including GST, and very large stumps run $400–$650 or more. Extra stumps on the same visit start from about $80 each. The final price depends on the stump’s diameter, root spread, the depth required and how easy it is to reach. Quotes are free and you always get a fixed price before any work starts.
Yes, this is our speciality. Our portable Alpine Magnum weighs about 40kg, so it can be carried through narrow gates, up and down stairs and into raised garden beds where larger machines can’t go. It still handles large stumps. When you ask for a quote, tell us the narrowest point on the way to the stump.
Yes. Our machines can grind to approximately 600mm (about two feet) below ground level. That leaves plenty of room to replant in the same spot. If you are laying lawn or paving instead, that depth often isn’t necessary. Tell us your plans and we will suggest the right depth.
Grinding always leaves some mulch-like material. We usually rake most of it back into the hole where the stump was, and any extra can be spread on nearby gardens. We don’t offer a mulch removal service, so the grindings stay on your property.
It depends on the size and number of stumps and the access, and we can tell you what to expect when we quote. Urgent jobs can often be done the same day where our schedule allows. Otherwise we usually get to them within two or three days. We’re open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm.
Tell us about your stump and where it is. We’ll get back to you to talk through access, depth and a fixed price.
