Stump Grinding in Perthshire

Stump grinding describes the process in which the stump of a tree that has been felled is removed. Usually after tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the earth, making the close-by area unusable together with possibly providing a habitat for pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the ground, removing them can clear the area, providing you with additional space which could be used to maximise your lawn area or provide new areas to lay patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding businesses can extract stumps of any scale. The method typically consists of slicing the stump as close to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and then using specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches beneath the ground surface to enable replanting, however occasionally landscaping projects may require the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is made by the stump grinding may be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Additionally, numerous specialist stump grinding companies offer specialist slim machines that could be employed if there is restricted access to your garden such as via a side alleyway.
