Stump Grinding in Highland

Stump grinding describes the procedure in which the stump of a tree that has been felled is cleared away. Often when trees are felled a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the soil, making the neighbouring area impractical to use together with possibly enticing insects or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the earth, extracting them can open up the space, delivering extra space which could be used to grow your lawn area or provide new spaces to fit patio or decking. Professional stump grinding companies can remove stumps of any proportion. The technique ordinarily consists of slicing the stump as close to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and then using specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches under the dirt surface to permit replanting, although sometimes landscaping projects might require the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are created by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Also, lots of skilled stump grinding companies have specialist narrow machines that could be used if there is limited access to your garden for instance, via a side alleyway.
