“They did an amazing job leaving no mess.”

We had Terry, Don, Breann, Kol come to our residence to remove a very large 100 year old Elm tree that was diseased. They did an amazing job leaving no mess. They had to remove my temporary fence for access and re-built it that same day without any issues. Very Professional, would highly recommend.

“He was friendly, courteous, and answered all my questions.”

This morning they were out front hard at work removing a large, dead tree. I spoke with a member of the crew, Cam, he was friendly, courteous, and answered all my questions. It's a rare sight nowadays to see a crew of yellow vests and everyone working.

What is Stump Grinding?

Stump grinding is the most common and effective way to get rid of a tree stump after a tree is cut down. Using a specialized machine, we grind the stump down several inches below the surface until it’s no longer visible and the area is ready to be covered with soil, grass, or mulch.

Reasons for Stump Grinding

That leftover stump might seem harmless, but it may be ruining the look of your yard, making lawn care a hassle, or even attracting pests. Here’s why it’s worth considering:

Boost Your Curb Appeal

A tree stump sitting in the middle of your yard isn’t exactly a landscaping statement. Removing it improves your lawn’s appearance, giving you a clean, open space to work with. You could plant a new tree, expand your garden, or just enjoy a tidy, polished look.

Make Lawn Maintenance Easier

Stumps get in the way of mowing, trimming, and landscaping—and worse, they can damage your equipment if you accidentally hit them. Grinding or removing the stump eliminates that obstacle.

Reclaim Usable Space

A stump might not seem like a space-hog, but every square foot counts when you’re designing your outdoor area. Removing it opens up room for new landscaping, a play area, a fire pit, or even a patio expansion.

Prevent Pests & Disease from Spreading

Stumps can become breeding grounds for pests like termites, ants, and beetles. Plus, a decaying stump can spread disease to nearby plants and trees, putting your entire yard at risk.

Our Stump Grinding Process

At Green Drop, we make stump removal fast, efficient, and stress-free with our process. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Assessment & Planning

Our arborists inspect the stump’s size, location, and root system to determine the best elimination method. We tailor our approach to minimise disruption to your lawn while ensuring a smooth, effective process.

Step 2: Stump Grinding

We then grind the stump below ground level for a seamless look using specialised equipment so the process is done safely—you have nothing to worry about.

Step 3: Cleanup & Lawn Restoration

We don’t just grind the stump—we clean up all debris and wood chips, leaving your yard neat and ready for whatever comes next.
