Stump Grinding in Strathaven

Stump grinding describes the process in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is disposed of. Commonly after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are kept in the soil, making the surrounding space unusable in addition to possibly appealing to insects or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the earth, taking them out can clear the location, providing you with extra space that could be used to maximise your lawn area or produce fresh spaces to fit patio or decking. Expert stump grinding firms can take out stumps of any scale. The process generally requires trimming the stump as close to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then using specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches below the soil surface to enable planting, however sometimes landscaping projects may 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 in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Furthermore, numerous experienced stump grinding companies offer specialist thin equipment that could be employed if there is limited access to your garden for instance, via a side alleyway.
