A stump left in the ground gets in the way and trips people up. Franny’s Tree Services grinds it out below ground level, levels the area and leaves the spot ready to use again.
We’re based in Greenhithe and work across the North Shore and wider Auckland. If we’re already taking a tree down for you through our tree removal service, we can deal with the stump as part of the same job.
We quote each job after we’ve seen it. The main things are how big the stump is, how many you’ve got and how easy it is to get the grinder to them.
A stump on an open front lawn is simpler than one tucked away behind the house. The quote is free, with no call-out fee and no obligation.
A stump grinder is a serious machine, so it matters who’s running it. Our arborists are qualified, and the business is fully insured and SiteSafe certified, with workplace safety training as well. We have been fully insured and qualified since 2018.
Builderscrack customers rate us 5.0 from 279 reviews, across 245 jobs. That includes stump grinding work in Mount Albert that got five stars.
It depends on the size of the stump, how many there are and how easy they are to reach, so we quote after seeing them. The quote is free, with no call-out fee and no obligation.
Below ground level. If you’re planning to replant or put something else on that spot, tell us when we quote and we’ll leave the area ready for it.
Grinding below ground level is how we stop a stump regrowing.
We deal with the debris responsibly, recycling it for mulch or other uses, so you’re not left with a pile of waste.
We can usually book your free quote within 24 to 48 hours. Most of our jobs are finished within one or two days, including the clean-up.
Call Francis on 022 040 0378, or fill in the form further down this page and tell us how many stumps you’ve got. We also do tree removal and hedge trimming.

"Francis did an excellent job cutting down two yucca trees for me. He was professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail, ensuring everything was done safely and cleanly. The area was left spotless, and he worked with care and precision throughout. On top of that, his pricing was very reasonable. I'm very impressed with his service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Fantastic work!"
"Francis and his team did an excellent job. The scope of work changed from grinding stumps, to moving a fence, adding a retaining wall and shifting soil. We are very happy with the end result and looking forward to putting down grass."
"Francis and team came on time and did a great job. He returned the next day to fix a stump and everything was nicely tidied up. I'd recommend Francis and his team."
