Stump Grinding in Clackmannanshire

Stump grinding describes the process in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is extracted. Commonly after tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the soil, making the surrounding area impractical to use as well as potentially appealing to pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the earth, having them removed can open up the garden, providing you with more space which could be used to increase your lawn or add fresh spaces to install patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding firms can extract stumps of any proportion. The technique usually comprises slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then employing specialised stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches beneath the soil surface to enable planting, although occasionally landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is generated 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 can remove it and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. Also, numerous expert stump grinding companies have specialist thin equipment that can be used if there is limited access to your garden for instance, via a side alley.
