Short answer: WhatsTheDamage's Brisbane table (Oct 2026) puts small stumps (under 30 cm) around $150–$300, medium 30–60 cm at $250–$500, and large 60 cm+ at $400–$900. Measure diameter at ground level, note fence and gate widths, and say whether you want grindings left or hauled away.
We refer stump-grinding requests to a local crew — we do not operate grinders ourselves.
How much does stump grinding cost?
WhatsTheDamage (Brisbane, Oct 2026):
- Small stump (under 30 cm): $150–$300
- Medium (30–60 cm): $250–$500
- Large (60 cm+): $400–$900
Access for the grinder, surface roots and whether you want grindings hauled away all change the price. Narrow estate side paths in Browns Plains or Regents Park often matter as much as diameter.
Should I grind the stump?
Grind if you are replanting, laying turf or building where the stump sits. On acreage around Logan Village or Jimboomba, many owners leave paddock stumps to rot. Camphor laurel and some fig species can reshoot from stumps — grinding or poisoning (where legal and appropriate) may be needed to stop regrowth; ask the arborist.
What to send for a stump quote
- Photo of the stump with a tape or known object for scale.
- Diameter at ground level (and how high the cut is).
- Gate width and any steps, pools or retaining walls in the path.
- Whether the tree has already been removed, or you want removal + grinding together.
Stump grinding and Council approval
Grinding a stump after a lawful removal is usually a site issue, not a separate vegetation-clearing application. If the tree itself still needs approval to come down, sort that first — see the permits guide.
How it works with us
- Tell us about the job: suburb, stump grinding, tree size, access and urgency. Photos help.
- We pass it to one independent local arborist or tree-service crew who services your area.
- If the job suits them, they inspect and quote — including whether Council or state approval is needed. The arborist who accepts the job confirms timing.
- You decide. The quote is free and any contract is directly with that business.
We pass requests to qualified local crews — any contract is between you and them. See our disclosure.

Frequently asked questions
Can you grind a stump without removing the tree?
Stump grinding is for stumps after the tree is down. If the tree is still standing, request tree removal (with or without grinding) on the form.
Do you take the grindings away?
That depends on the crew and the quote. Say whether you want mulch left on site or removed.
How deep do grinders go?
Ask the crew to confirm depth for your job. Typical residential grinding goes below surface level enough for turf or a new plant — building footings need a different conversation.
Can estate eucalypt stumps be ground next to fences?
Often yes, if the grinder can reach. Photo the fence line and side gate; tight access is the usual limiter on Logan estate lots.
