It’s easy to say ‘I’m an expert’ but it’s much harder to ‘be’ one. For me, I became a tree stump removal and stump grinding expert by going through the ranks and learning everything there was to learn as I passed each marker point. I was just 19 when I started trimming and removing trees for homeowners and caretakers around Auckland before adding stump grinding to the mix and now I manage the # 1 Waikato Stump Grinding and Auckland stump grinding business in the region.

Yes, big boys and big toys…it’s a given! One of the most important changes in the industry over the last 20 years has been the introduction, application and continual updating of the Health & Safety Regulations, something that I know is extremely important to adhere too in this industry, with articulate dedication. I believe my well-earned, down & dirty, hands-on experience has made me a good listener and a reliable person to deal with, so these days I can share my knowledge with you and ensure you get the best job done. What do you think? Let me know if you agree/disagree or tell me a ‘tree removal/grinding’ story you want to share with me; dave@stumpbusters.co.nz

My experienced team works well under my general guidance (they are very good at their jobs & I’m very lucky to have them) and I get a real kick knowing I send them off to work each day, wind, rain or shine, in Auckland or further afield such as in the Waikato, with the best & largest range of machinery, safety equipment and procedures all set up to carry out an exceptional job for you.

I enjoy sharing my experiences with others and like many others, know that ‘like attracts like’ in our personal and business lives. That’s why I have a good circle of people who help me to run Stump Busters efficiently.
