Stumps close to paving and services
Council’s Franklin Road rebuild had to accommodate tree roots and underground infrastructure. For a private garden in the same central suburbs, that is a useful prompt to identify pipes, cables and nearby paving before any grinding is planned.
If the stump is behind a terrace, down steps or through a tight side passage, send photographs of the entire route. Explain whether the site will become planting, lawn or paving. We can discuss the grinding area and disposal, while keeping any separate excavation or building preparation clear in the quote.

What we can help with
Stump grinding breaks down the stump within an agreed area below ground. It does not remove every root. Your plans for planting, lawn or building work help determine the scope and what needs to happen to the ground afterwards.

Can a stump beside a wall be ground out?
It needs assessment. Show the distance to the wall, nearby services and the access route. The agreed grinding area may be limited by structures or roots that need to remain.
