Stump Grinding in Edinburgh

Stump grinding is the procedure where the stump of a felled tree is removed. Usually after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are kept in the soil, making the nearby space impractical to use and also possibly providing a habitat for pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the earth, removing them could clear the location, delivering more space that could be used to extend your lawn area or create new spaces to lay patio or decking. Expert stump grinding businesses can clear away stumps of any size. The technique commonly requires trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and then using specialist stump grinding machinery to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches below the ground surface to permit planting, however in some circumstances landscaping projects might need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are made 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 way. Furthermore, lots of professional stump grinding companies offer specialist slim machines that may be used if there is restricted access to your garden such as through a side passageway.
