Describe the stump. Provide approximate dimensions and photographs. Note how close it is to fences, paving or other structures.

Faster stump quote: what to send
Most stump grinding quotes come down to size and access, so these details let a specialist price the job from your photos:
- A photo of each stump with a tape measure laid across the top at ground level
- How many stumps there are, and whether any are palms
- The width of the narrowest gate or side passage the grinder has to fit through
- What's close by, such as fences, paving, a slab or garden beds
- What you want to do with the area afterwards, such as lawn, paving or a garden bed
How much does stump grinding cost?
Every stump is quoted on its own size and site, so there's no standard price. These are the things that usually change a stump grinding quote:
- The diameter of the stump at ground level
- How many stumps are being done in the one visit
- The type of tree: palm stumps and hardwood stumps grind differently
- How deep below the surface you need it ground
- Whether the grinder fits through the gate
- Whether the grindings are taken away or left on site, and whether the hole is filled
Is it cheaper to grind or remove a stump?
Grinding is usually the cheaper option, because the machine chips the stump down below the surface and leaves the deeper roots to break down, while full removal means digging the stump and root ball out. If you're building over the spot or need the roots gone, ask for both to be priced.
How long does it take to grind a stump?
It depends on the size of the stump, the type of wood and how easily the grinder can reach it. An estimate can be given once the photos and measurements have been seen.
What's an hourly rate for stump grinding?
Some operators charge by the hour and others quote a fixed price per job or per stump. Ask which applies, whether there's a minimum charge, and whether clean-up is included, so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
What is the best way to remove a tree stump?
For most garden stumps, grinding it below the surface is the quickest way to clear the area. Digging the stump out is more work and is usually only worth it where the roots have to go. Either way, check for underground services first with Before You Dig Australia.

Frequently asked questions
Is stump grinding included with tree removal?
Not automatically. Removing the tree and grinding the stump are often quoted separately, so ask for the stump work to be listed in the quote.
Will the area be ready for paving or turf?
Mention what you plan to do with the area and ask how deep the grinding will go and what further preparation it may need.
Can a narrow side gate affect the job?
Yes. Access decides which grinder can be used, so send the narrowest gate width and a photo of the path to the stump.
