What Is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is the act of removing a tree stump by using specialised machinery. The main aim of stump grinding is to remove all visible evidence of the stump, taking it down to between 150-300mm below ground level. It’s important to note that stump grinding does not remove the entire stump or its root system. Rather, it simply grinds away the above-ground portion of the stump, making it much easier to remove later on.
There are many reasons why you might need to remove a tree stump from your property. Perhaps the tree was cut down but the stump was left behind. Or maybe the tree died and you now need to get rid of the unsightly remains. Whatever the reason, stump grinding is a great way to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
If you’re thinking about hiring a stump grinding service, be sure to ask them about their experience and qualifications. As with any type of machinery, there is a risk of injury if the proper safety precautions aren’t taken. So make sure you hire a reputable company who knows what they’re doing.
How Does Stump Grinding Work?
Stump grinding works by using a specialised piece of machinery known as a stump grinder. This machine features a rotating blade that slices into the wood repeatedly, breaking it down into small pieces. The operator will guide the blade around the stump until it is ground down to the desired level.
Once the stump has been ground down, the remaining debris will be removed from the site. We typically leave all grindings onsite in the stump area as standard practice. This helps to fill in any voids left behind and also aids in plant growth.
