What's Included

Every Stump Grinding Job Covers

01

Ground below the surface

Stumps ground to 150mm or more below ground level, leaving you clear to turf, build garden beds, or start fresh.

02

Any size, any species

From small ornamental stumps to the large river red gum stumps common along the Campaspe, our grinder takes on the lot.

03

Several stumps in one visit

Got more than one to clear? Grinding a batch together in a single trip out to Rochester usually brings the cost per stump down.

04

Access into backyards

A compact grinder fits through standard side gates, so we reach backyards and tight corners that larger machines simply can't get to.

05

Tidy site and chip options

We leave the site clean and level. Keep the wood chip on-site as free mulch, or have us cart it away so you can landscape straight away.

06

Rural and commercial work

Farm fence lines, paddocks, sporting grounds, and business frontages around Rochester are all part of what we handle day to day.

We've now had Luke & his crew do some work for us twice. Highly recommend Luke & his crew, they're awesome at what they do, clean up after themselves, every one of them is polite, knowledgeable, and just really nice guys.

Valerie Stone

So impressed with Luke and his team. The tree removal was handled efficiently and right on schedule. They were professional, well organised, and clearly knew what they were doing. Highly recommend their services.

Kate Donehue

Had Luke and his team remove 2 very large trees and grind some previously trimmed trunks. Couldn't believe how professional these guys are. Arrived on site and on time with the latest high-tech equipment. Couldn't overstate my recommendation.

Frequently Asked

Stump Grinding Questions

It depends on the size of the stump, how many you have, and how easy they are to reach. Luke provides free on-site quotes so the price is accurate to your job rather than a rough guess. Call 0457 202 026 to book a time that suits.

As standard we grind to 150mm or more below ground level, which is plenty for new turf and most garden work. If you plan to pave or pour footings over the spot, we can go deeper. Just let us know when we quote so we plan for it.

Grinding a stump from a tree that has already been removed usually doesn't need approval, but rules can apply to certain protected or significant trees. Campaspe Shire Council is the body to check with for anything on or affecting public land or covered by a local overlay. If you're unsure, mention it when we quote and we'll help point you the right way.

Grinding is quicker and more affordable, and it's the right choice when you simply want the visible stump gone for turf or garden beds. Full removal pulls out the roots as well, which matters when the area will be paved, built on, or replanted into the very same spot.

Most stumps won't regrow once they're properly ground out. A few hardy types can throw up new shoots from leftover roots, so for those we grind deeper or treat the roots to stop any regrowth.

Yes. Our compact grinder fits through a standard side gate and into most backyards. If the access is unusually tight or runs past wet, low-lying ground, let us know at the quote stage so we bring the right gear.

You can keep it on-site for free and use it as mulch on garden beds, or we can cart it away as part of the job. Most people hang on to the chip, but it's entirely your call.

Yes. Luke is a qualified arborist and all work is covered by full public liability and personal insurance, so your property and everyone on site is protected.
