Stump Grinding
is the technique of grinding the visible tree stump, after the tree is cut, to
below ground level. After the stump grinding is completed the stump hole
will be back filled with stump chips. The stumps if left behind after a tree
removal then it can become a hazard and also look unsightly.
After
the tree removal takes place then stump grinding has to be definitely done in
order to get the tree removal process completed. The stump grinding
contractors have stump grinding machines to suit almost every site right from
small 25horse power machines that can be used in suburban backyards to 60 horse power
track-driven machines which can easily handle stumps well of over 1m. The stump
grinding operators possess all the abilities to complete stump grinding in a secure and proficient
manner. They will grind the stump to below ground level. The cost of repairs to
underground services like pipelines can be avoided if their exact location is
notified to the stump grinding contractors before the work is commenced by
them.
The tree stump which has been cut
might give trouble to the house owners if the stump is not subject to grinding
process. Tree stumps are usually little up from the ground where anyone can
easily stumble on them and get hurt easily.
The tree is not dead if it is cut
branches begin to come again from the
chopped tree stump and it will continue trying to re-grow the root and may
continue to remove or damage the path or
alls. Fungi mushrooms also grow on the stumps with passage of time which can
spread the disease to other trees. The stump contractors can take out the stump
tree very fast and so eliminate the risk of disease to other trees and the
owners of the house.
The true stump contractor is equipped
with all the necessary tools and machinery in order to ensure a proper stump
removal. The main part of their equipment is the stump grinder which is a heavy
machine and weighs almost 1,000 pounds. It requires special training to operate
the stump grinder machine. The other tools that are also used are Rakes,
chainsaws, mattocks, and shovels.
The contractors first clear the area
around the stump using the shovels. Then they will cut the stump as close to
the ground as possible with chainsaws. The stump grinder is then placed on top
of the stump and the stump is cut gradually by moving the machine back and forth.
Then when the stump is removed, the stump grinding contractors clean the debris
from the place and leave it in good condition.
