About this website
Who turns up with the grinder
This website is run by Above All Tree Services Pty Ltd, a family arborist business based in the Sutherland Shire since 2004, working across Sydney. Stump grinding is one of the jobs we do every week, usually after one of our own removals and often after someone else's.
Alex does most of the quoting, so he's usually the person you'll deal with. The main website has the whole team, recent jobs and Google reviews.

Who you're dealing with
A proper tree company, not a bloke with a hire grinder
Stump grinders can be hired by anyone. Pipes, cables and neighbours' fences are what go wrong when they are. Here's who you get instead.
- 22 years in business. Above All Tree Services has been a Sutherland Shire family business since 2004, now seven full-time staff plus casual crew, with cranes and elevated work platforms for the hardest jobs.
- Two AQF Level 5 consulting arborists. Wayne Back and Joshua Baber hold the Diploma-level qualification councils ask for when they want a "consulting arborist", and write arborist reports councils accept.
- Wayne teaches chainsaw operations at TAFE NSW part-time, and is a volunteer Deputy Captain and trainer with the NSW Rural Fire Service.
- Licensed for the dangerous bits: elevated work platforms over 11 m, Electrical Close Approach for work near service lines, and rail, ARTC and Sydney Airport inductions.
- $20 million public liability, $10 million professional indemnity and workers compensation. Ask any contractor for their certificate of currency; we'll hand you ours.
- A member of Arboriculture Australia, trusted by Bayside Council, strata managers and schools, and we call back almost as soon as your request comes in.
