STUMP GRINDING IN MELBOURNE

Old stumps ground down below ground level so the area’s safe and reusable — re-turf, re-plant, or build over the spot.

Sam and his team completed tree lopping and stump grinding. The work was completed with efficiency and care. Happy to recommend him to friends and also use him again.

Sam Tree Services did an excellent job removing a large gum tree in my backyard. The team was professional, efficient, and left no damage. Highly recommend!

Did a professional job. We had a very tight access but Sam and his team manage to get through it very professionally. Definitely recommend them.

Sam and his team were simply fantastic to deal with. We had large mature trees, riddled with rot and termite damage, close to the fence line… not an easy brief. Their work was faultless. The yard was cleared, the small branches and leaf litter gone, remains of the trunks were neatly ready for us to prepare for firewood. Sam’s team swept up our yard, the path, the driveway and sidewalk, even the neighbours yards. A few weeks later, when I called to see if he could remove the stumps, he was back in a flash. I could not have been more pleased with his work. I heartily recommend Sam to anyone looking to work with serious professionals who care about providing a great service.

Very poor experience, no communication, work is half done and they have left, I have not made payment yet, they said they would come by today to clean up, it's 8pm and no message or update. Their personal rubbish has been left behind in my lawn, coffee cups and water bottles, I literally gave they all the hospitality and let them have any drinks in my outdoor fridge and this is how they treat it. They have rummaged through my cricket bag which was in the backyard, my cameras show they playing with my gear. COMPLETELY UNPROFRESSIONAL. Didn't even come on time, I had to call and ask where they are. Quote included removal of all waste, but theres still a heap of logs in the front yard. Cowboy tradies, not real tradies - pay more to get the real deal elsewhere, i wish i did.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT TREE WORK

How deep do you grind stumps?

Below ground level — typically 150–300mm depending on the stump and what you’re planning to do with the area.

Can I plant a new tree where the stump was?

Yes. Once the chips are cleared and topsoil is brought in, you can re-turf or re-plant the spot.

Do you take the wood chips away?

Either option works. Chips can be left on-site as mulch or removed as part of the quote.

Can you grind stumps near pipes or fences?

Yes — Sam works carefully around services, fences, and concrete. Mark anything you’re unsure about and Sam will work around it.
