Tree felling isn't always a straight forward operation, that's why we have the skills and experience to carry out a risk assessment before undergoing any work. Nearby buildings and confined spaces are just some of the complications that can arise.
Tree felling may be necessary if the tree has been infected with a disease or severely damaged due to adverse weather conditions. Trees may also be causing damage to property or other environmental surroundings.
The area around the stump will first be checked for buried services using a cable avoidance tool. We’ll then erect guards around the tree stump to contain any flying debris before the stump grinder is moved into position.
The stump grinder works by grinding across the tree/shrub stump and working down to a depth below ground of approximately 6 – 12 inches. This allows us to remove surface roots as well.
Once the stump grinding is complete the grindings are backfilled into the hole where where stump was and any excess is removed from site. The grindings created by this process are a fine woody mulch
which will naturally breakdown as time goes on, top soil and grass seed can then be added should the customer require.
