Stump Grinding
Once a tree has been cut down and the wood removed, consider having any stumps professionally removed. If performed improperly the procedure can cause damage to adjacent trees and root systems. McConkey Tree Service will evaluate the location of stumps and large surrounding roots for safe removal.
Once a tree has been cut down
A sizable part of it remains firmly in place in the form of the stump and root structure.
These can be unsightly, take up significant space, and interfere with planned changes to the property. Additional work can be performed in order to remove the stump to or below the grade. A special machine called a “stump grinder” can be used to systematically reduce stumps and large surrounding roots into woodchips.
The process is normally performed to a specified depth, usually 25 to 30 cm (10-12 inches) below grade. Following the grinding process, chips can either be cleaned up or put to good use as mulch under trees and shrubs.
