Tree Stump Removal Northern Beaches


An arborist such as Northern Beaches Arborist not only helps you maintain your trees, look after them, prune them or remove them if necessary, they can also perform tree stump removal in the Northern Beaches.


If you’ve had a tree removed, there are a couple of things you can do with the stump:

1. Keep The Stump


A more cost effective option, but you’ll be left with an unsightly tree stump.


Unfortunately it means area where the tree stump is located won’t be useable for any other landscaping or tree planting purposes, whilst also posing a safety hazard for people, including children, using the yard area.


2. Grind Stump Down


Although this option will cost you more, tree stump grinding in the Northern Beaches involves the use of a specialized stump grinding machine which removes the tree stump and its root system, therefore permanently removing the tree stump and avoiding any potential re-growth.


For tree stump removal in the Northern Beaches, it’s recommended to engage a qualified arborist that has experience in tree stump removal or tree stump grinding.
