Stump Grinding in Arbroath

Stump grinding refers to the procedure where the stump of a previously felled tree is extracted. Often after trees are felled a few inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the soil, making the close-by space unusable together with potentially appealing to insect pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the ground, having them extracted can open up the location, presenting you with added space which could be used to maximise your lawn or provide new areas to install patio or decking. Competent stump grinding companies can take out stumps of any scale. The process commonly consists of trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then using specialist stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches under the soil surface to allow for planting, although in some circumstances landscaping projects might require the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are produced by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Also, numerous experienced stump grinding companies offer specialist thin machines that can be used if there is restricted access to your garden for example, via a side alley.
