Stump Grinding in Killin

Stump grinding is the process in which the stump of a felled tree is extracted. Generally after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left in the ground, making the surrounding space unusable together with possibly enticing pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the ground, taking them out can open up the space, presenting you with extra space to expand your lawn size or produce new spaces to fit patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding businesses can remove stumps of any proportion. The method typically includes cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then employing specialised stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches below the ground surface to allow for replanting, however occasionally landscaping projects might require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is produced 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 may remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. In addition, numerous skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist small equipment that could be employed if there is limited access to your garden for example, via a side alley.
