Tree Stump Removal & Grinding in Eltham
If you’ve got an old tree stump taking up space in your Eltham backyard, we can help!
At Simpson’s Tree Service, we specialise in safe, efficient tree stump removal and grinding right here in Eltham. Whether it’s a single stubborn stump or a whole yard of them, our local team has the right equipment and experience to get the job done properly — without damaging your lawn or garden.
We’re proud to be Eltham locals who genuinely care about helping our neighbours keep their gardens clean, tidy, and ready for new growth.
Why Remove a Tree Stump in Eltham?
Tree stumps can look harmless at first, but they often become a problem over time. In Eltham’s leafy environment, old stumps can quickly:
attract white ants, borers, and termites
cause new shoots or unwanted regrowth
become a tripping hazard for kids and pets
damage mowers and gardening tools
get in the way of landscaping or building projects
By having your stump professionally removed or ground down below soil level, you’ll keep your property safe and make room for whatever you’d like to plant or build next.
Our Stump Grinding Process
We use modern, powerful stump grinders that chew through even the toughest hardwood stumps — from gumtrees to conifers.
Here’s how our process works:
Inspection: We visit your Eltham property, assess the stump size, access points, and ground conditions.
Preparation: We clear debris and check for rocks or services like irrigation or cables.
Grinding: Our machine grinds the stump well below ground level, turning it into reusable mulch.
Clean-up: We tidy the area, leaving it smooth and ready for turf, paving, or planting.
We can handle tight Eltham driveways, sloped blocks, or small garden access points thanks to our compact machines.
TREE STUMP - FAQ
How much does tree stump removal cost in Eltham?
The cost of stump removal in Eltham depends on the stump’s size, depth, and accessibility. Smaller stumps start from around $100, while larger or multiple stumps may cost more. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you’ll know the price upfront.
What’s the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding shreds the stump down below ground level using a grinder, while stump removal extracts the entire stump and roots. In most Eltham gardens, grinding is preferred as it’s faster, cleaner, and doesn’t disturb surrounding soil.
Do I need to remove the stump after cutting down a tree?
Yes — leaving a stump can lead to pest infestations (like termites), fungal growth, and new shoots. Removing or grinding the stump keeps your Eltham garden safe and clear for new landscaping or replanting.
Can you remove tree stumps in tight or hard-to-reach areas?
Absolutely. Our compact stump grinding machines can access narrow backyards, through gates, or even down small garden paths without damaging lawns or garden beds.
How long does stump grinding take?
Most stumps can be ground down within one to two hours, depending on their size and hardness. Larger stumps in Eltham’s clay soils might take a little longer, but our team works efficiently to minimise disruption.
Is stump grinding safe for my garden and nearby trees?
Yes. Our grinding process only affects the targeted stump. It won’t harm surrounding trees, lawns, or garden beds. We take care to protect the rest of your property during every job.
What happens to the wood chips after stump grinding?
The stump is turned into fine mulch, which you can reuse in your Eltham garden for moisture retention and weed suppression. If you prefer, we can remove the mulch and leave the area clean and level.
Do you offer same-day or emergency stump removal in Eltham?
Yes — where possible, we offer prompt service across Eltham for urgent stump removals, especially after storm damage or fallen trees. Call us early, and we’ll prioritise your booking.
Are you insured and qualified to remove stumps in Eltham?
Yes. Simpson’s Tree Service is fully insured and our arborists are qualified professionals. We adhere to Australian safety standards and local council regulations for all tree and stump work in Eltham.

Our Feedback
Great service, highly recommend. Ben provided a detailed quote and spent the time to explain what our job required. He and his team turned up on the day providing friendly and expert service fulfilling all our requirements. Our job included trees overhanging neighbouring fences all of which were meticulously handled with and cleaned up after. Happy to recommend and will use again.
Quick and efficient and very well priced, did a great job in no time
Excellent work from Ben and his team, our property has limited access to the 7 large pines we had removed, it was no problem to them, they did a great job, worked hard all day, cleaned up the area afterwards. We were really happy with the job done and the price. Would highly recommend.
We used Simpsons for the first time today. We were so impressed, the boys did an amazing job. Fast and efficient, and did a beautiful clean up job we weren't expecting, they went above and beyond. Compared to other quotes we got, they were priced very competitively, this won't be the last time we use Simpsons, can highly recommend.
Great knowledge and advice. Was able to do the job for nearly half the price as quoted elsewhere and did a fantastic efficient job. Was a bit slow to respond to get a quote and arrange things but if you don't mind waiting a tad then you'll be happy with Ben and his team's work.
Great service. Just had a couple of big trees pruned and did general pruning in my backyard. They were fast, efficient, and took great care. They left my yard cleaner that it was before. They even left me with some firewood. I'll definitely be using them again in the future.
These guys are well priced and have done a good job 🙂
Ben was great. Answered my inquiry quickly and had scheduled in the job by the end of the week. Gave advice and completed the job very considerately and quickly. Highly recommended.
Sam and the crew did a great job of pruning back large trees around the house. All the trees were difficult, being close to wires and/or having branches hanging over the house. Their skill and expertise showed, and the rain didn’t deter them either! They also took great care, even moving pot plants. The area was left clean on completion. A professional and hard working team.
Simpson Tree Service, were prompt, professional and did the job well, cleaned up afterwards. I would definitely recommend them
