G’day, I’m Dan from Stump Grinder Hire Australia — thanks for checking us out.
I started this business after noticing a growing demand for stump grinder hire across Australia that simply wasn’t being met by the bigger providers.
Too often, they lacked the customer service, fair pricing, and practical, in-depth knowledge needed to properly support everyday homeowners tackling DIY stump grinding.
In many cases, the machines were overly heavy, the stump sizes unsuitable for hire, or the instructions unclear – leaving customers unsure how to get the best results, or whether hiring a professional would have been the better option from the start.
That’s where we come in. We pride ourselves on being a friendly, approachable alternative for homeowners, offering honest advice and clear guidance so you can make the right call and get the job done properly.
We’re looking forward to meeting you.

No. We give you a full walkthrough and safety demo at delivery, so you know exactly what to do before we leave. Most people are grinding their first stump within a few minutes of us driving off.
Stump grinders can be dangerous if you’re not careful or don’t take it seriously, that’s exactly why we give you a full tutorial before we leave. Once you’ve seen it demonstrated and understand what to watch out for, it’s genuinely manageable.
It definitely takes some getting used to, and you might be a little sore the next day, but that’s usually a sign of a job well done.
Yes, we take a $250 bond, which is held while the machine is with you and returned once we’ve inspected it after pickup.
Fair wear and tear is completely fine, that’s expected. The most common damage we see is to the teeth, usually from hitting rocks, concrete, or buried debris without checking the ground first. Take a moment to clear the area around the stump before you start, and you’ll avoid most issues. If the machine is damaged through misuse, you may be liable for repair costs beyond the bond.
It grinds 30-40cm below ground level, giving you a clean, lawn-ready result rather than just a flush cut at the surface.
Up to 75cm in diameter. Beyond that, our machine isn’t the right tool for the job, it’s best suited to smaller residential stumps, so we’d recommend contacting a professional for anything larger.
Yes. However many stumps you’ve got, the price stays the same for your hire period.
No. Delivery is included in every hire, we bring the machine straight to you and collect it again, so you don’t need any equipment of your own.
We deliver between 6am and 9am on your hire day, and collect between 5pm and 8pm on your last day.
Yes. At checkout you can select Saturday, Sunday, or the whole weekend, whatever suits your plans.
Choose your dates online and pay securely at checkout, it takes under two minutes. You’ll receive confirmation straight away.
The machine is 85cm wide, so it fits through most standard residential side gates without an issue.
Stumps sitting right up against a wall, fence, or in a tight, enclosed space are more difficult to grind without risking damage to the machine or the surrounding structure. If you’ve got a stump in a tricky spot like this, it’s worth getting in touch before booking so we can talk it through.
Yes, fuel is included in the hire price. There’s no need to fill it back up before we collect the machine.
