A leftover stump is more than an eyesore — it’s a trip hazard, it can re-shoot, and it attracts termites and decay. Grinding it out lets you reclaim the space for lawn, garden or paving.

Ironbark grinds stumps of any size below ground level, clears the grindings, and leaves the area ready to turf, plant or pave over.

Signs you might need stump grinding

  • A stump left after a removal
  • A trip hazard in the lawn
  • A stump re-shooting or rotting
  • You want to replant or pave the area
  • Termite concerns around an old stump

FAQs

Stump Grinding — common questions

How deep do you grind the stump?

Usually around 20–30cm below the surface — enough to turf or plant over. We can grind deeper if you’re paving or building over the spot, just let us know.

What happens to the wood chips?

The grindings can be left to backfill the hole as mulch, or we can clear them away and tidy up — whichever you prefer.
