Stump Grinding in Isle of Colonsay

Stump grinding describes the procedure where the stump of a previously felled tree is taken out. Typically after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the earth, making the close-by space unusable and also potentially appealing to insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the ground, having them taken out could open up the location, offering more space which you could use to grow your lawn size or create fresh areas to fit patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding firms can remove stumps of any size. The method generally calls for slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and then utilising specialised stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches below the soil surface to permit replanting, although occasionally landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are produced by the stump grinding can 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 and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Furthermore, lots of professional stump grinding companies have specialist small machines that could be employed if there is limited access to your garden for instance, through a side passageway.
