Stump Grinding in Lochailort

Stump grinding describes the process where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is taken out. Typically when trees are felled a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the ground, making the close-by space unusable as well as possibly providing a habitat for bugs or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, having them taken out can open up the location, providing you with added space to grow your lawn area or add fresh spaces to lay patio or decking. Professional stump grinding firms can remove stumps of any proportion. The technique normally involves slicing the stump as close to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and then making use of specialised stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches under the ground surface to permit planting, however occasionally landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is made by the stump grinding can be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. Also, lots of experienced stump grinding companies provide specialist small equipment that could be employed if there is restricted access to your garden such as via a side passageway.
