Can you grind rock?

Stump grinders are very powerful and the tungsten carbide teeth are ultra tough. A small amount of gravel and debris is manageable, but the teeth are made for wood and dirt – solid rock brings added challenges which require additional measures. Auckland has its share of rocky ground and we do our best to find solutions in each case.

Will you destroy my beloved garden?

No. Here at Doctors, we are plant people ourselves and understand what it takes to nurture a prized specimen or make a garden look nice. We take pride in minimising our impact.

Is stump grinding messy?

The process of stump grinding can produce a surprisingly large volume of saw-dust and pulp. We contain flying debris and clean up after ourselves. Where excessive mulch is produced, we offer a removal service to avoid leaving you with any inconvenience.

Can you remove a stump so that i can replant in the exact location?

Yes, we can deep-grind the entire underground mass to allow for your new tree. We like to know exactly what you intend to plant, so that we can prepare the new hole accordingly with our machines.

Can you remove bamboo?

Yes, Doctors will excavate or grind stubborn bamboo

Is stump grinding the most efficient and affordable method?

In most cases, stump grinding is the most practical and cost effective way to extract unwanted stumps and roots. Seldom is it smart to burn out your elbows on a spade or the clutch in your 4wd. We can recommend the best methods for any scenario to ensure your money is spent intelligently.
