## What this site covers
Stump grinding and stump removal across Sydney by Above All Tree Services: any stump, including ones left by other contractors and palm stumps.

## How it works
- Stumps are ground 300–400 mm below ground level, deep enough to lay turf, plant a garden bed or pave over.
- A typical backyard stump takes about 30–60 minutes.
- Before grinding we check for pipes, cables and irrigation near the stump and ask about anything you know is buried there.
- The grindings can stay in the hole or be spread as mulch, or we take them away.
- Grinding removes the stump and the top of the main roots; the roots deeper in the soil break down over the following years. Digging a stump out disturbs paths, fences and garden beds nearby; grinding doesn't.
- Most eucalypts and ornamental trees won't regrow once ground this deep. Camphor laurel, privet and some wattles can sucker from roots left in the ground; we'll say if yours is one.
- The back-filled grindings settle as they break down; top up with soil before turfing.
- No council approval is needed to grind the stump of a tree that was legally removed.

## What affects the price
Stump diameter and height, how many stumps, access (the narrowest point of the side path), roots spreading under paths or paving, whether the grindings are removed, and whether a tree removal is needed as well. Prices are not published: send a photo with something for scale (a spade, a shoe) and the access width and Alex quotes the stump from the photo (confirmed 2026-10-03). Other tree work is quoted on site within 24–48 hours.
