Stump Grind It

It's not all about the big machines and flying woodchips!

Sometimes it's the little things behind the scenes that keep the day moving.

Preparing equipment, checking tools and making sure everything is ready for the next job.

And there's always time for a smile along the way.

Just another day with the Stump Grind It crew.

Why grind a stump?
The tree might be gone, but sometimes the stump is where the real nuisance begins.
A leftover stump can get in the way of mowing, landscaping and everyday maintenance, take up usable space and become a trip hazard. As old timber starts to break down, it can also provide food and shelter for termites, particularly when it stays damp and in contact with the soil.
That's where stump grinding comes in.
At Stump Grind It, every job is a little different. Stump size, access, fences, steps, garden beds, underground services and what the area will be used for afterwards all affect how the job is approached.
Grinding the stump below ground level helps remove the hazard, reduce the chance of regrowth and leave the area ready for whatever comes next - lawn, landscaping, paving, replanting or simply having the space usable again.
Some jobs are straightforward. Others involve tight access, awkward locations or machinery getting into places that clearly weren't designed with stump grinders in mind.
The goal is simple: do the job properly, leave the area tidy and give the customer their space back.

You’ve got a fantastic attitude, resilience and plenty of grit, all qualities that will hold you in good stead for the exciting challenges ahead.

We’re all incredibly proud of you,l and can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes you.

A pretty special milestone for the Stump Grind It team. 🌳🎉

This photo means a lot.

For the first time, Troy and his two sons, Kyah and Taj, are all qualified Certificate III Arborists. Watching a father and his sons achieve the same trade qualification together is something pretty special, and it’s a moment we’re all incredibly proud of.

Some time ago, the decision was made to invest heavily in training, education and doing things the right way. That commitment has become a big part of who we are as a business.

Today, every member of our team has either completed formal arboriculture training or is currently working towards it. Troy is now continuing his own journey by studying his Diploma of Arboriculture (AQF Level 5), while Bert and Isaac have recently started their Certificate III (AQF Level 3).

None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of RelyOn Australia 🌳 They have been an outstanding training organisation to work with, and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough to anyone looking to build a career in arboriculture.

A special thank you also goes to Sascha Seifritz , our trainer. Over the years he’s become far more than just an instructor. He’s become a mentor and a genuine friend. The knowledge, encouragement and real-world experience he’s shared has helped shape not only better arborists, but better people and a stronger business. We’re incredibly grateful for everything he’s invested in our team.

We firmly believe that investing in our people is one of the best investments we can make. Better training creates safer arborists, more knowledgeable professionals, higher-quality workmanship and, ultimately, better outcomes for our customers and our industry.

Congratulations, boys. Here’s to continuing to learn, grow and raise the benchmark for arboriculture. 🌿💚👊

Does anyone know Ash?

I’d genuinely love to catch up with him for a b**r. My shout.

I’d just like to explain to Ash how hard it is running a small business in today’s world.

You put contingencies in place. You put safety measures in place. You stay up late, get up early, work hard for your family, try to set a good example for your kids, and just keep grinding every single day. Then, out of nowhere, you get sideswiped by a one-star review from someone who has nothing to do with your business.

This morning we received this review from our first job of the day. It was a really difficult site in a cul-de-sac with very limited parking and a mountain of tree debris to process. The boys worked flat out for 3 hours.

As soon as I saw the review, I rang the crew and asked them to send me photos. Everything checked out. The amber lights were on, the cones were out, the work zone was set up professionally, and the boys were working hard.

I still wasn’t satisfied, so I drove there myself. I knocked on doors, spoke to a few neighbours, took my own photos and videos, and genuinely hoped I could find Ash and have a conversation. Unfortunately, I couldn’t.

I drove away with a heavy heart because this is one situation I genuinely don’t know how to prevent and I know it happens to others too.

We’re not perfect, and we’ll make mistakes. But whatever happened to a simple conversation? Why is the first reaction in 2026 to jump on a keyboard instead of talking to someone?

That one review doesn’t just affect me. It affects my crew, my family, and everyone who turns up every day trying to do their best. To be completely honest, I hate how much it can get into your heart, despite knowing we’ve got more than 550 five-star reviews from amazing customers.

To all the other small business owners out there, how do you deal with this? How do you stop these things from getting to you?

And Ash, if you happen to read this, I hope your day improves. The b**r offer is genuine 🍻

Wishing Bert and Isaac all the best as they start their Certificate III in Arboriculture today with RelyOn Australia 🌳👏

Well done, boys. We’re very proud of you both for taking this next step in your careers. Have a great first day and make the most of it! 💪🌿

This now makes a total of six employees who are currently completing, or have completed, their training through our friends at Relyon Australia.

We place a strong value on training and investing time and effort into our people. It’s not just about gaining a qualification, it’s about helping our team become more competent, more confident and safer in the work they do every day.

We’ll continue looking for ways to raise the benchmark within our own business, while also helping to grow, strengthen and contribute positively to the wider arboriculture community.

Today I found myself back behind a stump grinder.

Just me, a machine, and a customer.

Eleven years ago, that’s exactly how this business started.

These days I spend most of my time quoting, managing staff, solving problems, putting out spot fires, and trying to steer two growing companies in the right direction.

It’s a privilege, but if I’m honest, it can also be exhausting.

Running a business can be lonely. It can consume your thoughts, your energy, and sometimes even your passion.

Lately I’ve felt a bit beaten up by it all.

Then this morning happened.

I turned up to help an elderly lady with a small job. We had a chat, I completed the work, did a few extra things while I was there, and drove away knowing I’d made her day a little easier.

And it reminded me of something I’d forgotten.

The reason I started this business was never the trucks, the equipment, the growth, or the numbers.

It was to help people.

To solve problems.

To make someone’s day a little better.

Sometimes when life gets overwhelming, the answer isn’t pushing harder.

Sometimes it’s simply going back to where it all started and reconnecting with your “why.”

Today was a good reminder of mine.
