Stump Grinding in Heriot

Stump grinding is the process where the stump of a tree that has been felled is cleared away. Typically after tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the ground, making the surrounding area unusable and also potentially appealing to pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the earth, removing them can open up the location, offering more space that you could use to extend your lawn area or add fresh spaces to fit patio or decking. Expert stump grinding businesses can clear away stumps of any proportion. The operation usually demands slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and afterwards employing specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches underneath the soil surface to enable replanting, although occasionally landscaping projects may require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is produced 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 may remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Additionally, lots of skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist slim machines that may be employed if there is limited access to your garden such as via a side alley.
