Get rid of that stump before it brings termites to your door
Fast, clean stump grinding across Melbourne. We grind it below ground level, remove the grindings, and give you back usable space. Most jobs done in under 2 hours.
That stump is not just ugly. It is a problem.
A leftover stump sitting in your yard looks bad. But the real issue is what you cannot see. A rotting stump is a five-star hotel for termites, and in Melbourne, that is not a theoretical risk. It is a real one.
Termites love old stumps
Melbourne sits in a high-risk termite zone. A decaying stump within 50 metres of your home gives subterranean termites exactly what they need: moisture, cellulose, and shelter. Once they establish a colony in the stump, your house is next. The average cost of termite damage repair in Australia is $10,000 to $15,000. Stump grinding costs a fraction of that.

Eliminate the termite risk
Grinding the stump removes the decaying wood that attracts termites. No stump, no food source, no colony. It is the simplest way to protect your home from a very expensive problem.
Reclaim your yard space
That stump is taking up prime real estate in your garden. Once it is ground out, you can turf over it, build a garden bed, lay a patio, or just enjoy more open space.
Instant curb appeal
Nothing says "neglected property" like an old stump. Removing it immediately lifts the look of your yard. If you are selling, this is one of the cheapest ways to improve buyer perception.
Remove the trip hazard
Stumps are a safety risk for kids, guests, and anyone walking through your yard at dusk. Grinding it below ground level eliminates the hazard completely.
How it works
Send us the stump details
Tell us the approximate diameter and send a photo if you can. Let us know about access (side gate width, steps, slopes) so we can bring the right equipment.
Fixed-price quote
We quote based on the stump's diameter. No hourly rates, no guessing. You know exactly what you will pay before we arrive.
Ground out, cleaned up
We grind the stump 200 to 300mm below ground level, clean up the grindings, and leave the area ready for turf or garden. Most jobs take 1 to 2 hours.
What our customers say
"Had three stumps from trees we removed last year. Hilly's ground them all out in one visit. Took about 90 minutes and the yard looks completely different. Wish I had done it sooner."
Ground below grade, guaranteed
We grind every stump a minimum of 200mm below ground level. If there is any stump material visible after we leave, we will come back and finish the job at no extra cost.
