Professional stump grinding across Sydney. Environmentally friendly and neat — bringing stumps to below ground level.
Have you had a tree removed but still have an unsightly stump taking up space in your garden? MR TREES provides professional stump grinding across Sydney, grinding stumps down below ground level so the area can be replanted, landscaped or safely used again.
The depth we can grind to may be limited by nearby structures such as pathways, garden edging, planter boxes, fences, or underground services and rock. Any variations like this are covered in your quoted price, which is why it pays to speak with an experienced team before deciding who to use.

Stump grinding and stump removal are two different processes. Stump grinding involves cutting the base of the tree and 'root flare' to a depth of approximately 300mm below the soil line at the base of the trunk, and cutting the radial roots to a radius of approximately 300mm from the root flare — it does not include 'root chasing' (digging out the full root system).
In stump grinding, the roots of the tree are not removed. A stump grinder is used to grind out the stump mechanically and it leaves fine sawdust as a residue. The main objective of the stump grinding process is to bring the stump to your desired height, below ground level. The stump grinding process can be done for just 100mm to as much as 450mm below ground level.
In the stump grinding process, the stump is ground, levelling the ground. It also eliminates the need for extra filling.
There are many reasons why the stump grinding process is preferred by homeowners. The process is easy to complete and efficient tools are used to get the job done. Stump grinding is an environmentally friendly and neat job to complete.

When the stump grinding service provider attend the site to complete the job as per the quote and if the service provider cannot complete the task (not due to MR TREES or the stump grinding service or the weather), the owner has is liable for an attendance fee for lost time or opportunities.
In case you have requested for tree removal only subject to a discussion and agreement with the owner, it is our practice to treat the stump/s to prevent any type of regrowth. In the case of smaller stumps, we treat the area on the top of the stump to prevent stump regrowth. However, in case of larger or more vigorous stumps, we will cut slots into the cambium area on the top of the stump to allow more absorption into the roots. At no time, we (over) treat the surrounding soil or plants.
MR TREES has been established for over 38 years and has significant experience in stump grinding in urban and regional areas around Sydney. We have successfully completed thousands of residential, strata, and commercial complex tree maintenance and removal jobs from Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, and across the bridge to the Lower North Shore.
Cost depends on the size of the stump, its location and site access. We assess the stump in person and provide a fixed-price quote.
Not automatically — stump grinding is a separate service. Let us know if you'd like it included when you book your tree removal, or as a standalone job for an existing stump.
We typically grind stumps to between 100mm and 450mm below ground level, depending on the site and your plans for the area, such as replanting or landscaping.
The grinding depth may be limited by nearby structures such as paths, garden edging or underground services — we'll discuss any limitations with you before starting the job.
Stump grinding removes the visible stump and root flare but doesn't extract the full root system. In most cases the remaining roots break down naturally over time.
