What Is Tree Stump Grinding?

Tree stump grinding is when a tree stump is cut into small, reusable wood chips. It is done once a tree has been completely removed and only the stump is remaining.


Tree stump grinding in the Northern Beaches is an important task when considering complete tree removal, as tree stumps remain connected to the tree’s root system leaving the possibility of further tree branches or growth sprouting in the future.


Tree stump grinding destroys the stump and also kills the underlying root system, leaving no room for any re-growth.


Stump grinding services in the Northern Beaches are performed by a powerful machine using a rotating disc to grind the tree stump down into mulch.


Some of the main benefits of tree stump removal in the Northern Beaches include:

- Preventing the remaining stump from attracting pests or diseases

- Prevent the tree from growing back at all, roots are destroyed

- To create space for new plants

- The mulch created from the stump grinding can be reused for other gardening projects and initiatives

If it weren’t for stump grinding as a tree stump removal option, the only other real viable option to remove a large tree stump would include removal by a crane, in order to take out the entire stump and root system.
