Stump Grinding

​

​

When removing a tree or large shrub, a small proportion of the trunk or stem remains in the ground. This is known as the stump. Tree stumps are unsightly, obstructive and can be extremely difficult to remove. Stumps can attract fungus and other wood rotting organisms which can effect other trees and plants in the surrounding area. The most efficient method of stump removal is to use a stump grinder. This machine consists of a large diameter cutting wheel that rotates this is placed onto the stump and lowered progressively tearing away at the fibres “or grinding” until the stump is removed.
