Stump Grinding in Argyll

Stump grinding describes the procedure where the stump of a felled tree is removed. Generally after trees are felled a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the soil, making the close-by space impractical to use in addition to potentially enticing insects or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the ground, having them extracted could open up the space, offering additional space which you could use to maximise your lawn area or provide fresh areas to fit patio or decking. Expert stump grinding companies can remove stumps of any size. The process ordinarily consists of cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialist stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches underneath the soil surface to allow planting, although in some circumstances landscaping projects might require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is made by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. In addition, many professional stump grinding companies offer specialist small machines that may be used if there is restricted access to your garden such as via a side alley.
