Stump Grinding in Stornoway

Stump grinding refers to the process in which the stump of a previously felled tree is disposed of. Typically during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the ground, making the surrounding area unusable together with potentially enticing bugs or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, taking them out can clear the location, presenting you with extra space to expand your lawn size or provide new spaces to lay patio or decking. Expert stump grinding firms can clear away stumps of any size. The method usually consists of cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialised stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches beneath the soil surface to permit replanting, however in some scenarios landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is produced by the stump grinding can be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Furthermore, many skilled stump grinding companies have specialist slim machines that could be used if there is restricted access to your garden such as through a side alleyway.
