Stump Grinding in Aberdeen

Stump grinding describes the process in which the stump of a tree that has been felled is removed. Typically after trees are felled several inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the earth, making the local area impractical to use along with possibly appealing to insects or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the earth, having them cleared can open up the garden, presenting you with extra space which you could use to maximise your lawn area or add fresh areas to install patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding companies can remove stumps of any proportion. The operation normally includes cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and then utilising specialised stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches beneath the dirt surface to permit replanting, although in some cases landscaping projects may require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is made by the stump grinding can be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Furthermore, many specialist stump grinding companies offer specialist small machines that could be used if there is limited access to your garden for example, via a side alley.
