Stump Grinding in Girvan

Stump grinding refers to the process where the stump of a felled tree is removed. Typically when trees are felled several inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the ground, making the surrounding space impractical to use in addition to possibly attracting insects or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the ground, taking them out can clear the space, offering more space that you could use to maximise your lawn area or create fresh spaces to fit patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding firms can clear away stumps of any proportion. The technique typically calls for cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and then using specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches underneath the ground surface to enable planting, however in some cases landscaping projects might require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is created by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. Furthermore, many experienced stump grinding companies have specialist thin equipment that can be used if there is limited access to your garden for example, via a side passageway.
