What exactly is complete stump grinding in Auckland

Stump grinding involves using a high-powered grinder that will transform that eyesore into mulch in no time. Depending on your tree size, the team at Franny’s Landscaping might use a smaller grinder that runs on gas, or if you are dealing with a heavy stump, a bigger grinder might be necessary, which would run on diesel.

Basically, the device has many carbide cutters attached, which then spin at an outstanding speed to ground the stump into mulch. Since this is a high-powered tool, only experienced and qualified arborists are expected to use this tool. Particularly for bigger trees, these devices are highly powerful and possibly dangerous if used improperly.

Generally, the resulting mulch can be used to fill in any holes that stay after stump grinding. If the Earth is less thick, or you are worried about inferior structure, you can fill in the hole with the remaining of the stump. There are various advantages of using mulch in your garden.

What exactly is stump removal?

While stump removal and stump grinding delivers the same outcome, the techniques are completely different. Stump removal doesn’t involve expert equipment designed to lessen the stump to mulch. Stump removal involves the literal extraction from the earth using an industrial vehicle such as a digger or tractor.

Often, a chain will be tied across the stump and then secured on the digger or tractor. Here, the vehicle will drive off and use a tremendous amount of force to yank the stump off the ground. Depending on the stump size, there can be ample roots below the stump that need more strength to pull off the stump.

As a thumb rule, a bigger tree will have bigger roots due to the need for more nutrients. Bigger and dense roots can bury themselves deep within the earth and just add the amount of pull necessary for extraction.

Stump grinding can create a considerable amount of mulch which is commonly used to fill up the cavity left behind the stump. After tree felling or removal, you can leave the stump. Nonetheless, many consider it to be quite an ugly feature for a lawn. Unless you strategize on using it to split wood, it might be better to get it removed so that you are left with a blank canvas to create something more meaningful on your land.
