Stump grinding
Tree stumps can be more than just an eyesore—they’re a tripping hazard, attract pests, and take up valuable space in your outdoor area. At Rivercity Tree Services, we specialise in fast, precise stump grinding to clear the way for a safer, tidier, and more functional property. Whether it’s a small stump in a tricky corner or a deeply rooted giant, our expert team has the skills and heavy-duty equipment to get it done.
Our stump grinder, nicknamed Stumpy, breaks down stumps into wood chips, grinding them below ground level to prevent regrowth and leave a smooth, even surface. For larger or more challenging jobs, we bring in the muscle—our 7-tonne excavator ensures even the toughest stumps are no match.
Once the stump is removed, you choose the finishing touch. Want wood chips for landscaping? We’ll leave them neatly piled for your use. Prefer a completely clear space? We’ll take care of the disposal. Whatever your needs, we’ll make the process hassle-free from start to finish, so you can get back to enjoying your outdoor space.

What’s included with our service:
Complete stump removal: Grinding stumps down to below ground level for a seamless finish.
Custom mulch options: Keep the wood chips for landscaping or let us handle the disposal.
Site clean-up: We leave your property tidy and ready for its next use.
Health and safety standards: Every step of the process is completed with safety as our top priority.
