Why You Should Remove That Tree Stump

A leftover stump might seem harmless, but it can cause more trouble than you’d think.

Here’s why North Shore homeowners and property managers choose to have them removed:

  • Safety first: Old stumps can be a tripping hazard for kids, pets, and anyone mowing or walking around the garden.

  • Keep pests away: Decaying wood attracts insects and fungi that can spread to healthy trees and plants nearby.

  • Make room for new growth: Grinding out stumps clears the way for fresh landscaping, replanting, or future construction work.

  • Boost your property’s appeal: A tidy, stump-free lawn instantly improves your home’s look and value, and makes maintenance a whole lot easier.

Whether it’s in a small backyard or a commercial site, Shoreside Trees helps keep your North Shore property safe, clear, and looking its best.

 Frequently Asked Stump Grinding Questions

  • Costs depend on the size of the stump, how easy it is to access, and how many you need removed. Smaller stumps are usually quick jobs, while larger or hard-to-reach ones take a little longer. Shoreside Trees provides honest, upfront quotes with no hidden extras, just clear pricing for professional results.

  • We typically grind stumps well below ground level, usually around 150–300mm deep, depending on the site. This depth ensures the roots can’t regrow and the area can be safely replanted, turfed, or landscaped.

  • Absolutely. Our modern stump grinders can handle several stumps in a single visit, saving you time and money. We often complete both residential and commercial jobs that involve multiple removals.

  • The grinding process produces a fine mulch that’s great for garden beds and weed suppression. If you’d prefer, we can remove all debris as part of our full tidy-up service, no mess, no stress.

  • Yes, while we’re based on the North Shore, we also provide stump grinding and tree services across wider Auckland. Just get in touch, and we’ll let you know how soon we can reach your area.
