Stump Grinding Cranbourne

Stump removal can be insensitive because a large, ugly hole will often be left in the ground after a tree by conventional means. However, if the tree’s roots have penetrated the ground, it may be most appropriate to hire a contractor who can grind out the stump rather than remove it by other methods.

Isn’t This Something I Can Do Myself?

If you grind your wood for a project, resist! Renting a chainsaw and doing it yourself can be dangerous. Wood chips could fly into your or a loved one’s face, or even worse; you could lose a finger or hand to the rapidly spinning blade. You could also damage the machine and pay for repairs. Only trained professionals should operate machinery like this.

Advantages of Grinding VS Stump Removal

In some situations, grinding a stump might be the best option. In other circumstances, it’s better to remove the stump altogether. Grinding is generally preferable, but removing a stump can be necessary when it is in an inaccessible area or too steep for grinding equipment.

Stump grinding can fill stump holes with wood chips, giving you a fresh new garden bed. Using woodchips is environmentally friendly, as it allows for the recycling of materials and reduces the need for new ones to be cut from trees. Grinding can also help remove long-reaching roots, which may grow broad and profound because they are more flexible and removal is more accessible.
