There are several ways in which you can tackle stump removal once a tree has been felled, the most common methods are as follows:
Stump Grinding
with the aid of machinery stumps can be removed below ground level.
This will prevent future basal re-growth and can mean that the area in which the tree once stood, can now be used for other purposes.
Stump Excavation
with the aid of heavy plant machinery stumps can be up-rooted and pulled from the ground. This option is particularly useful should you require that the pre-existing trees’ root system is removed entirely. It is worth being mindful of this option when considering any building works, planning and or applications.
Stump Treatment
this is where poison is applied to a pre-grooved channel in the cambium layer of the stump. The poison will be absorbed by the trees root system and will prevent future basal re-growth. This option will NOT speed up the rate of decay and the stump may be left intact for many years, which could prove to be a sore sight for some eyes. It is however the cheapest option! Wildlife must be considered prior to any stump treatment being undertaken.
