Stump Grinding & Stump Removal Wellington

Left with an unwanted stump? We deal with it two ways. Stump grinding is the quickest, tidiest option — our machine grinds the stump down below ground level, turning it into mulch and leaving you with clear, usable ground. Where the ground needs to be completely clear, full stump removal takes out the stump and the major root plate as well.

Stump Grinding & Removal

Grinding is ideal when you want to replant, lay new lawn, pave or simply remove a trip hazard. We grind well below the surface so there’s no unsightly stump left behind and grass and plants can establish over the top, then clean up the grindings and leave the area ready to go. We can reach stumps in tricky, tight-access spots too.

Full removal is more involved, but it’s the right choice when nothing can be left in the ground — before building, laying foundations or major landscaping. We assess access and what’s around the stump, take out the stump and major roots, then backfill and tidy the hole.

Not sure which you need? We’ll advise on the best option for your plans during the free assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far down do you grind a stump?
Typically 20–30cm below ground level — enough to lay lawn or replant over the top. We can grind deeper if you’re paving or building.
Grinding or full removal — which do I need?
Grinding suits most gardens and lawns. Full removal is best when you’re building or need the root plate gone entirely. We’ll recommend the right one for your project.
