Stump Grinding in Orkney

Stump grinding describes the process where the stump of a felled tree is disposed of. Generally during tree felling a few inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the soil, making the nearby area unusable together with possibly appealing to insects or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, having them taken out could open up the garden, providing you with added space which could be used to increase your lawn or produce fresh spaces to fit patio or decking. Expert stump grinding companies can clear away stumps of any size. The process typically calls for slicing the stump as close to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and afterwards employing specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches under the dirt surface to permit replanting, however occasionally landscaping projects might require the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are generated by the stump grinding may 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 and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. Furthermore, many experienced stump grinding companies have specialist thin machines that may be used if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side alley.
