THE FINISHED RESULT

All stump grinding FAQs

How much does stump grinding cost in Auckland?

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.

Can stump grinding be done in a small backyard or with narrow access?

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.

Can you grind a stump below ground level?

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.

What happens to the wood chips after grinding?

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.

How long does stump grinding take?

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.
