Gold Coast, Coomera to Currumbin
Stump grinding on the Gold Coast
Stumps ground below the surface so the ground can be turfed or planted over.
Stump grinding
What goes into a stump job
An old stump in the lawn and one left by a tree that came down last week are quoted the same way: on what is around it and what is under it.
What is in the ground
Rock, old concrete and buried pipes and cables near a stump change how it is ground, so they are looked for on the visit.
Rock close to the surface
Basalt sits near the surface in parts of the coast, and a grinder that finds it works slower and blunter.
The grindings
A stump turns into a pile of chips and soil bigger than you would expect. Raked back into the hole, spread as mulch, or taken away.
How the job runs
Stump questions
Depth, roots and what is left behind
How deep does it go?
Far enough below the surface to turf or plant over it. Deeper than that costs more and is rarely needed.
What about the roots running across the lawn?
They can be ground out with the stump or left. The quote says which.
