Tackling Even The Toughest Stumps
Leftover stumps are more than unsightly - they can attract pests, become trip hazards, and make it hard to landscape. At John’s Tree Lopping in Newcastle, we provide professional stump grinding and removal that clears space quickly and safely. Our rubber-track stump grinder allows us to work on steep sites and tight access areas, ensuring even the most stubborn stumps are dealt with efficiently. By grinding the stump below ground level, we leave a smooth, usable area ready for lawns, paving, or new plantings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is stump grinding better than leaving a stump in place?
Stumps left behind can sprout new shoots, attract pests such as termites, or become tripping hazards. They also make mowing and landscaping awkward. Grinding removes the stump below ground level, reducing regrowth and improving safety. It also leaves the area clear for new plants, lawn, or construction.
How deep does stump grinding go?
Most grinding equipment is designed to remove a stump 15–30 centimetres below ground. This is usually deep enough to stop regrowth and allow for topsoil or turf to be laid. In cases where new construction is planned, grinding may go deeper. The exact depth often depends on the stump’s size, species, and surrounding soil conditions.
Can stump grinding damage underground pipes or utilities?
Before grinding begins, it’s important to check for underground services like water pipes, gas, or electrical lines. Professional operators often recommend a service location check. If pipes or utilities are present, grinding can still be done carefully, but the depth or method may need adjustment. This reduces the risk of accidental damage.
Clear Space & Prevent Future Problems
Getting rid of a stump properly means more than just cutting it low. We grind deep enough to prevent regrowth, stop termites from nesting, and make sure the space can be reused without ongoing issues.
Our process is designed to be thorough, safe, and environmentally responsible, leaving your property clean and ready for its next stage. Whether you’re preparing for construction, landscaping, or just want a clear yard, professional stump removal saves time and hassle.
