Stump Grinding in Nairn

Stump grinding refers to the process where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is extracted. Commonly when trees are felled a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are kept in the soil, making the nearby area impractical to use as well as potentially providing a habitat for insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the soil, having them cleared could clear the garden, offering more space that could be used to improve your lawn size or add new spaces to fit patio or decking. Professional stump grinding businesses can clear away stumps of any proportion. The technique usually involves slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches underneath the dirt surface to enable planting, although in some circumstances landscaping projects might require the stump to be removed 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 in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Also, many expert stump grinding companies have specialist narrow machines that can be employed if there is limited access to your garden for example, via a side alleyway.
