Stump Grinding in Cairndow

Stump grinding describes the process where the stump of a tree that has been felled is cleared away. Generally during tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the ground, making the local area unusable as well as potentially enticing insects or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the ground, having them removed can clear the garden, offering more space to expand your lawn area or create new areas to fit patio or decking. Professional stump grinding companies can take out stumps of any size. The procedure normally involves trimming the stump as close to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and then utilising specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches beneath the soil surface to enable 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 mulch for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. Also, many experienced stump grinding companies offer specialist slim machines that may be used if there is limited access to your garden for instance, through a side alleyway.
