The size of the stump in question determines the approach we
take to remove the stump. For small stumps, we will 'grub' them out with
hand tools and sometimes mechanical winches. Stumps that cannot be
removed by hand, will need to be ground out with a machine called a
stump grinder. Depending on the depth required can affect the cost and
time taken.
Other factors that will affect the quote and the approach
we take would include the ability to get access to your garden. For
example, a lot of London-based houses do not have rear access to their
garden, thus rendering any of our large grinders useless, we, therefore,
require the use of our smaller equipment to get through the house
safely. The downside to this is the extra time the use of a smaller
machine needs to eat through the stump.

Poisoning (alternative option)

For
a fee of 30 (small/medium size stump), we can poison a stump so it
deteriorates over time and ensures it does not continue to grow. The way
in which we do this helps prevent the poisoning of children and
animals. We cut a flat slice off of the stump and then drill multiple
holes which we hammer in capsules containing the specialist poison. We
then take the offcut and screw it down onto the stump to stop the poison
from being exposed to pets or minors.

London Stump Grinding

The
process of stump grinding is a complex and intricate one; it is the
practice of excavating the stump of the tree without removing the root
system. A stump grinder is employed in this case to mechanically grind
out the stump, leaving fine sawdust as a residue upon completion of the
process. The advantage of this root grinding service is that the stump
is ground down to your desired height.It is possible to grind as deep as
12 inches underground, or as low as just 1 inch under the soil. Since
the stump is ground, eventually it will integrate with the soil. By
doing so, the ground level is maintained and the need for additional
filling is eliminated.
It is believed that grinding a stump away is
one of the best means of removing it. KW Tree Care offers guaranteed
root grinding service at a price thats affordable. Tree stumps can be
extremely difficult to remove by hand, but we can do it for you with our
tools. The machinery we use for grinding down tree stumps allows us to
grind your tree stump down below the ground.

Stump Grinding vs Stump Removal

There are slight differences between stump grinding and stump removal.
Since
a stump grinding doesnt remove roots, you cant plant over a new shrub
in your area. Stump removal is a tree root removal service which insures
the full root is removed from underground. You can think of stump
removal as a clean slate in your landscape. Essentially, if you just
want to get rid of a tree and you dont have the time or the budget to
completely remove it, booking a stump grinding service is what you need.

Whereas,
if you wish to completely remove a tree from your landscape and restart
it, then a tree root removal service is what you need from us. Getting
rid of stumps can come in very handy if you want to achieve a change in
your landscaping design.
