Two ways to remove a stump
1. Stump grinding (most common)
A grinding machine chips the stump away to below ground level, usually about 200–300 mm deep, along with the main surface roots. The remaining roots below rot away over time. It’s fast, it leaves your lawn and garden mostly undisturbed, and it’s the option most Mandurah homeowners choose. Learn more about stump grinding in Mandurah.
2. Full stump extraction
The stump and root ball are dug out with an excavator or pulled out. This is worth considering when you’re pouring a slab or footings over the spot, laying a pool, or clearing roots away from sewer or stormwater pipes. Extraction costs more, needs machine access, and leaves a big hole that has to be backfilled and compacted.
| Stump grinding | Full extraction | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical WA cost | about $150–$500 per stump | about $400–$1,200 per stump |
| Ground disturbance | Low | High |
| Access needed | Compact machines fit narrow gates | Usually excavator access |
| Best for | Lawn, garden beds, fencing, turf | Slabs, footings, pools, pipe clearance |
Indicative 2026 ranges from The Quote Yard (WA) and Back On Tools (Perth). Your quote depends on your stump and site. See our Mandurah cost guide.
What affects the cost of stump removal in Mandurah
- Diameter: measure across the top of the stump at ground level.
- Species: WA hardwoods like jarrah and marri are much slower to grind than peppermint, pine or palm.
- Access: the width of your narrowest gate or path, steps, and slopes on soft coastal sand.
- Roots and obstacles: stumps against fences, walls, paving, reticulation or pipes need more care.
- How many stumps: several stumps in one visit usually means a lower price per stump.
- Clean-up: taking away grindings or spoil is usually charged separately.
Tree stump removal across Mandurah suburbs
Coastal suburbs such as Halls Head, Falcon, Wannanup and Dawesville have sandy soils where roots spread wide and shallow, and canal homes often have tight side access. Newer estates in Lakelands, Meadow Springs and Madora Bay usually have small yards with stumps close to fences. Established areas like Greenfields, Silver Sands and Erskine often have older gum and peppermint stumps, and semi-rural blocks around Pinjarra can have large jarrah or marri stumps. Wherever you are, photos help the operator plan the job.
Palm stump removal
Palm stumps are fibrous and usually cheaper to grind than a hardwood stump of the same width, but the root zone can be large. See palm stump removal in Mandurah.

Stump removal FAQ
Is grinding as good as removing the stump completely?
For lawn, garden beds and fencing, yes. Grinding below ground level lets you fill and use the space. Full extraction is only really needed when you’re building directly over the spot.
Can I remove a stump myself?
You can hire a grinder, but hire machines are heavy and hard to handle, and hitting rocks, pipes or cables is a real risk. Once you add hire, fuel and trailer costs, a single stump is often cheaper to have done professionally.
Will removing the stump stop termites?
Rotting stumps can attract termites, so removing them reduces one common food source near your home. It’s not a substitute for a termite inspection.
Do you remove the tree as well?
This site focuses on stumps. If the tree is still standing, mention it when you call and we can point you in the right direction.
