About stump grinding
Grinding chews the stump 150 to 300 millimetres below ground level, deep enough for lawn or paving, deeper on request for replanting. It beats poisoning and waiting years for rot, and the mulch produced can backfill the hole. Locating underground services before grinding is essential, so expect the operator to ask about irrigation, gas and NBN lines.
Getting quotes in North Cairns

Quick answers
Do I need council approval to remove a tree?+
Often, yes. Most councils protect trees above a certain trunk circumference or of particular species, even on private land, and fines for unapproved removal are substantial. In South Australia, regulated and significant tree rules apply based on trunk circumference. A reputable arborist will tell you when a permit is needed and can prepare the supporting report.
What qualifications should an arborist have?+
Look for AQF Certificate III in Arboriculture for climbing and cutting crews, and AQF Level 5 for consulting reports. Ask for public liability insurance of at least $10 million and, for any tree near powerlines, confirmation the crew is authorised for that work. Cheap quotes from uninsured operators become your problem the moment something lands on a fence.
What is the difference between lopping and pruning?+
Pruning makes selective cuts to standards that preserve tree health and structure. Lopping in the crude sense means cutting branches back to stubs, which triggers weak regrowth and decay and often makes the tree more dangerous within a few years. Many quality businesses still use the word lopping, so judge them by their method, not the name.
