Deep, clean & efficient stump grinding
“No regrowth, no mess — just a clean, usable space where the stump used to be.”
At Aps Tree Removal, we offer professional stump removal services across Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. Whether you’re dealing with an old stump, a recent tree removal, or multiple stumps across a site, we grind them down well below ground level — making room for turf, paving, or replanting.
Comprehensive stump removal solutions
Got a stump in the way? Aps Tree Removal specialises in fast, efficient stump grinding, even in locations with tight access or surrounded by obstacles like fences and paving.
Stump removal is never one-size-fits-all. We assess the stump’s size, depth, location, and surrounding surface before choosing the best approach.

Quick, clean, no-regrowth solutions
We remove stumps using commercial-grade grinding equipment that allows us to work in all environments — backyards, driveways, lawns, and tight spaces — without damaging nearby surfaces.

Stump Removal & Grinding Melbourne — common questions
How deep do you grind the stump?
Standard grinding goes 300–400mm below ground — well below the surface, so you can lay turf, pave or replant over the spot.
Will the stump grow back?
No. Grinding well below ground level removes the part of the stump that would otherwise reshoot, which is why we describe the result as zero regrowth.
Can you get a grinder into a tight side path or courtyard?
Yes. Tight-access grinding — narrow paths, courtyards and between structures — is one of the things we are set up for, and the work is done without damaging the surrounding surfaces.
What happens to the grindings?
The site is cleaned up. The mulch from the grinding can be left for your garden or removed, whichever you ask for.
Can you remove several stumps in one visit?
Yes — whether it is one old stump, a stump from a recent removal, or multiple stumps across a site.
