The removal of stumps is something AG Tree Services have a great deal of experience in carrying out. Whether it is digging out smaller stumps or grinding out large stumps over 2 meters in diameter we can offer advice and quotations to suit your needs. The price is largely dependent on factors such as the diameter and height of the stump, the stage of decay of the wood, the likelihood of foreign bodies in the stump and surrounding soil and access for the grinder. The size of stump grinder we use will depend on the same factors.
The normal depth for grinding is around 8 inches below ground level, which is enought to plant bedding plants/shrubs on top and/or shrubs on top. Should you require the stump ground lower and/or the larger roots 'chased' out then this is also possible. It will simply take longer, as the spoils will have to be continually cleared from around the machine, to allow machine to get lower and the grinding head to continue cutting lower.
The stump grinders generally work by having a cutting wheel lined with teeth (often tungsten) and they spin at high speed. When theis wheel is passed over the stump, it removes small amounts of wood at a time, creating woodchip/mulch material.
Whilst grinders make history of stumps, it is imperative that there are no services such as electricity cables, gas or water pipes in the vicinity of the stump as the teech will cut throught these if care is not taken to identify exactly where these hazards are located.
The grinders we use vary from a small push grinder which is similar in size to a self propelled mower and can be relatively manouvered around alleyways and carried up steps to access tighter areas, to larger self propelled machines which are operated by a remote control making it physically easier to use but requires good access to the stump.
