Stump Grinding in Ballater

Stump grinding describes the procedure where the stump of a tree that has been felled is disposed of. Typically when trees are felled a few inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the soil, making the adjacent area unusable in addition to possibly attracting insects or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the soil, taking them out can open up the garden, delivering extra space which you could use to expand your lawn or provide new areas to fit patio or decking. Competent stump grinding firms can extract stumps of any size. The process generally demands slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and afterwards employing specialist stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches beneath the soil surface to allow for planting, however sometimes landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are created 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 could remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. In addition, lots of skilled stump grinding companies provide specialist slim equipment that may be employed if there is limited access to your garden for example, through a side alleyway.
