Stump Grinding in Caithness

Stump grinding refers to the process in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is taken out. Typically after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the soil, making the nearby area impractical to use together with possibly attracting pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the soil, removing them could clear the location, offering extra space which you could use to grow your lawn size or create new areas to fit patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding businesses can get rid of stumps of any proportion. The procedure usually comprises trimming the stump as close to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards making use of specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches below the soil surface to allow replanting, however in some instances landscaping projects may require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are generated 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 can remove it and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. In addition, numerous skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist small equipment that may be used if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side alley.
