We generally grind to between 200 and 300mm in depth to allow for replanting. All grindings are left on site. We rake the grindings back into the hole the removed stump has created; and over time the aerated grindings break down and settle into the hole. The heaped grindings generally sink to a third of their mass/height. Grindings are an effective soil improver but need to be turned into the soil not left on top as mulch.
Why have Stumps Removed?
- Quarantine areas of lawn or garden bed so these areas cannot be used
- Cause trip hazards
- Can appear unattractive
- Provide lodging for termites
- Impede the construction of driveways, building footings, or landscaping of hard surfaces
- Have caused damages to building structures or services and need to be removed – lifting of concrete slabs, buildings footings or other hard landscaping, blocking of sewage and water pipes and damages to underground gas, telecommunication and electrical services
- Simply become obsolete and no longer fit in the current garden setting Stump Grinding is the most efficient and cost effective solution to removing unwanted stumps from your property.
