Stump Grinding in Peterculter

Stump grinding refers to the process where the stump of a tree that has been felled is cleared away. Frequently 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 potentially enticing insects or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, taking them out could clear the area, providing you with additional space that you could use to improve your lawn area or add new areas to lay patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding businesses can get rid of stumps of any size. The operation ordinarily involves slicing the stump as close to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and afterwards employing specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches beneath the ground surface to allow for replanting, although sometimes landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed 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 in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Also, lots of professional stump grinding companies offer specialist small equipment that can be used if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side alley.
