Stump Grinding in Ayrshire

Stump grinding refers to the procedure in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is removed. Often after trees are felled a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the ground, making the adjacent space impractical to use and also possibly providing a habitat for insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, having them cleared can clear the space, offering extra space to broaden your lawn or create fresh spaces to fit patio or decking. Competent stump grinding companies can remove stumps of any scale. The operation frequently involves cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and afterwards using specialist stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches beneath the ground surface to enable planting, however in some circumstances landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground 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 may remove it and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. In addition, many skilled stump grinding companies have specialist small equipment that may be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for example, through a side alleyway.
