- How Deep Can You Grind?
- Why Can’t you Dig Deeper?
- What Happens After You’ve Ground Out The Stump?
How Deep Can You Grind?
Standard regulations state that you may only grind a stump 200-300mm below the surrounding ground level. This has just as much to do with the size of the equipment and the blade of the grinder as it does the stump itself. Larger stumps take longer and cost more, as more time and labour is required to grind the stump. The blade is only so big, so little chunks need to be removed, for the safety of both the operator and the maintenance of the equipment.
Why Can’t You Grind Deeper?
Surrounding services, such as local water lines, power lines and amenity sources run in the ground, often not obvious to the property owner. These can be damaged if cutting equipment runs too close to them. Footpaths can be damaged if a stump is located at the front of a property, not to mention garden beds and fences that can be costly to replace if damaged by the vibration of large machinery or blades.
What Happens After You’ve Ground Out The Stump?

Filling of Holes
Once the tree and stump are removed, it is for good safety that the hole is filled and depending on the kind of tree stump that is being ground, this hole could be of a significant depth. Having a hole filled looks more appealing a tidier after the grinding work has been done and you will be left with a clean space to work with again.

Trees can grow in all shapes and sizes and sometimes homes can be built around the trees so when one is removed all areas need to be taken in consideration and if stumps are near pipework then these areas need to be isolated first.
Accessibility
If stumps are to be accessed in the backyards, the best possible access areas will need to be organised for equipment to be able to get the stump removed.
What Type
Certain trees have wider stumps, short or longer root systems and depending on the condition of the stump the removal will determine the process. If there is fencing nearby, pipework these are all factors to consider.

How Long Does It Take to Grind a Stump?
When deciding to remove tree stumps from your property, it pays to be well informed before you decide on a contractor and when to get it done.

Grinding a stump will depend on a few factors, including:
- Size of the Stump
- Location of the Stump
- Condition of the Stump
Size of the Stump
If a stump is of a significant size, it will take longer the grind out. Stump grinding blades come in only one size and when the stump is removed, it produces a significant amount of mulch, which can be spread around your garden or taken away from the site for a small additional cost. Large stumps take longer because the workload is increased in duration.
Location of Stump
Even if your tree stump is small, it may be hard to access. Stumps that are embedded behind retaining walls, near other established garden or close to fence lines are tricky to get to so will take a little longer to grind out. It may also take longer in labour time to manoeuvre around the obstacles and safety equipment to be set up to remove the stump.
Condition of the Stump
A brand new stump from a tree that has been freshly removed will undoubtedly still be moist and hard, whereas an aged stump may have been weathered and be slightly softer. If the stump is hard yakka to grind, this will inevitably take longer to remove, whereas if the wood is dry and easily broken up, the job should be much quicker.

How Much Does It Cost for Stump Grinding?
When it comes to stump removal, it’s not as easy as one may originally believe. The chopping down and removal of the tree itself is relatively simple unless it is very large and dangerous, but the difficulty in removing the stump has seen many people just leave them behind and why you see so many tree stumps left in the ground. To allow for more available space and area for productivity, as well as safety for those who move around it, the stump should be removed sooner rather than later, and a professional is always your best bet for professional and effective grinding and removal.
Armac is your local expert in not only stump grinding but tree removal and yard clean-ups. We specialise in grinding and removing stumps of all sizes in all locations and in any situation with safe, professional equipment to suit any budget. The cost to remove a stump will always depend on:
- Size of Stump
- Location of Stump
- Situation Surrounding the Stump
Size of Stump
The size of the tree stump will inevitably be a significant factor in the cost of grinding it out of the ground. The blade is only so big, regardless of stump size, so the bigger the stump, the longer it will take and the more mulch it will produce. This mulch can be removed for an additional cost or spread throughout the surrounding garden. It will also take significantly longer to grind out a large stump.
Location of Stump
Stumps in tricky locations, such as in small garden beds or behind sheds may incur extra charges for the use of additional equipment to get to the stump location. It may also take a lot longer in labour time to manoeuvre around the obstacles to physically remove the stump itself. Tree stumps in easier locations, such as the middle of a backyard or on a front verge, can also call for some equipment to get through the back gate to access the stump or safety equipment to cut off the verge to avoid pedestrians being affected by the stump removal.
Situation Surrounding the Stump
Your tree stump might look simple enough to remove, but what is going on around it? Is it easily accessed through a side gate? Are there underground service running close to the base? Is it located right next to a pool or a fence/wall that might be damaged in the removal process? This is one of the main reasons why you should employ a professional to remove tree stumps; they are able to assess the surroundings when they give you a quote and reduce the risk of any excess damage.
