Frequently Asked Questions
What is stump grinding?
Stump grinding is the process of using a powerful machine to grind a tree stump down below ground level. It effectively removes the visible portion of the stump and prevents regrowth, making it easier to landscape over the area.
Why should I remove a tree stump?
Old stumps can attract pests like termites and ants, become a safety hazard, or interfere with lawnmowers and future landscaping. Stump grinding is a quick and cost-effective way to restore your outdoor space.
How deep do you grind the stump?
At Tree Scene, we typically grind stumps 150–300mm below ground level. If you need deeper grinding (e.g. for replanting or building), just let us know—we can tailor the job to suit your plans.
Will stump grinding damage my lawn or nearby plants?
No, our equipment is designed to be precise and minimally invasive. We take care to protect surrounding areas and clean up thoroughly once the work is complete.
What happens to the wood chips and mulch?
The grinding process creates mulch from the stump. We can either leave it on-site for your garden, spread it in place, or remove it completely—your choice.
How much does stump grinding cost in Tauranga?
Prices vary depending on the size, number, and location of the stumps. Tree Scene offers free, no-obligation quotes anywhere in Tauranga or the Bay of Plenty region.
Do you grind surface roots as well?
Yes, if there are surface roots that could cause issues or affect landscaping, we can grind those down too. Just mention it during the quote.
Is stump grinding safe?
Absolutely. Our team is fully trained and insured, and we use professional equipment to ensure every job is completed safely and efficiently.
How long does stump grinding take?
Most stump grinding jobs take less than an hour per stump, depending on the size and access. Larger or multiple stumps may take longer—we’ll give you a clear timeframe upfront.
