What we do

Professional Stump Removal You Can Replant Over

Stump grinding mechanically mulches the stump and surface roots below ground level, creating a clean, level area you can replant, returf or pave over. It is faster and less disruptive than excavation, avoids heavy machinery damage, and helps prevent trip hazards and unwanted regrowth. Using compact grinders, access through side paths, courtyards and tight South Nowra and Nowra backyards is handled with care, protecting gardens, fencing and underground services. On completion, the site is raked and levelled; woodchip grindings can be removed or left as nutrient-rich mulch to keep landscaping moving. Depth is tailored to your plans, with deeper passes for new lawn and plantings. From single stumps to multiple removals for renovations, work is completed efficiently for homes, strata and small commercial sites across Shoalhaven and Illawarra NSW. Typical grind depth is 150 to 300 mm, finished neat and ready for use.

Tight Access & Tricky Locations Solved

Not every stump sits open on a lawn. Across South Nowra and Nowra many lie beside fences, decks, sheds and retaining walls. Compact grinders fit through narrow side gates and courtyards, tracking lightly to protect turf and pavers. Guards and ground mats contain debris, while careful positioning lets us work close to structures, irrigation and services. Where roots run under edging or paths, we make progressive passes to the depth required for replanting, new lawn or paving with minimal disturbance. If access is extremely tight, a smaller machine completes the job safely. The area is raked level and left ready for your next stage.

  • Works near fences, walls and services
