“Six machines. Every job matched to the right one.”
Stump Busters is Auckland and Waikato’s dedicated stump grinding operation. Not a landscaper. Not a one-machine owner-operator. A purpose-built grinding business with the fleet depth and operator experience to clear stumps at production pace — residential, commercial, or development scale.
If you’ve got stumps to clear, the fastest move is a phone call or a quick enquiry below. We’ll get back to you fast, and where practical, we quote and grind on the same visit.
Six machines — from large tracked production units down to a portable unit that reaches places no wheeled machine can access. The right machine goes to every job. No compromises, no turn-aways.
Same-visit efficiency
Where practical, we assess, quote, and grind in a single visit. No waiting around for a second trip.
Access isn’t an excuse here
Tracked machines protect surfaces. The portable unit goes through a 650mm gate. Steep banks, tight backyards, confined sites — we’ve covered it.
Underground services managed properly
Every job is risk-assessed before the first cut. Clients aren’t left exposed.
Trade-partner ready
We work directly with arborist crews, developers, and property managers as a reliable subcontractor. We run at production pace and we show up when we say we will.
Ready to clear them?
Call us on 0800 728 782 or fill in the enquiry form below — tell us the location, number of stumps, and any access notes. We’ll come back to you with a price.

I’m David Ruck, owner and operator of Stump Busters. I’ve been in the tree industry since 1990 and built Stump Busters specifically to do one thing properly — stump grinding at production pace across Auckland and Waikato. Six machines, the right one matched to every job, and a team that shows up when we say we will.
StumpBusters utilizes the latest technology, from our Alpine Stump Grinder that is used for difficult to get to places like raised gardens or on steep banks to our tracked machines that are operated by remote control. At the business end of the machines is the cutting disc. The special cutting teeth on the disc literally cut across the face of the stump, back and forth, turning the stump to wood chips. Our experienced machine operators will grind the stump down to the correct depth and will also remove as much of the root system as is needed, to leave the earth ready to be replanted or built on. Check out our Gear Page.
Once a tree has been cut down, the stump and roots remains in its place. Stump removal needs specialised machinery and equipment. Stump grinding is an efficient way to get rid of a tree stump as removing the tree stump and roots is a special job that only qualified stump grinder professionals can perform. Stump removal is often an essential step in replacing the tree, to level a section or for doing other jobs in the outdoor area. StumpBusters provide mechanical service, which means fast and efficient stump removal. Find out more about this local stump removal service or get in touch with our team.
Out side of work I enjoy spending-time with family and friends, traveling and trying new things. I like relaxing, watching movies or playing on my computer. The things that motivate me are family, traveling, my responsibility’s within stump busters and just the sense of accomplishment after a hard days work out stump grinding. There are many reasons why I enjoy working for stump busters, the people I work with are awesome, meeting new people, learning new things, seeing amazing houses and landscapes and the variety of jobs.
