Stump Grinding in Dalbeattie

Stump grinding refers to the process in which the stump of a previously felled tree is disposed of. Frequently after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left in the ground, making the nearby space impractical to use as well as possibly attracting bugs or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the ground, having them extracted can open up the location, presenting you with more space which you could use to maximise your lawn size or produce fresh areas to lay patio or decking. Expert stump grinding firms can remove stumps of any scale. The process ordinarily requires slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then employing specialised stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches below the soil surface to allow planting, although in some circumstances landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is created by the stump grinding may be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. In addition, lots of specialist stump grinding companies provide specialist narrow equipment that may be employed if there is limited access to your garden for example, via a side alleyway.
