Stump Grinding & Removal Auckland

When you hire a tree removal service to remove a tree the contract that you sign the price very seldom does it include removing the stump. If there is no way you cannot incorporate it into your existing landscape you will have to chip away at it until it is level with the ground. You do this by using a stump grinder, which you can rent for approximately one hundred to one hundred ninety dollars a day or hire a landscaper who charges by the size of the stump. For a twenty-four inch stump a landscaper will charge between ninety and one hundred fifty dollars. The stump grinder that you need to use is a power tool that is attached to a rotating cutting disk that will grind the tree stump into a bunch of small chips. This process is called stump grinding. The next question that arises is what to do with all of these little pieces of stump. You can use then as: Stump Grinding Auckland

There will be deviations from this main topic, also describing my reasons, methodology, and events which led to the present action taken. Unlike many of my stump grinding peers who have relied upon YouTube videos to demonstrate stump grinding, nobody has yet---as far as I am aware--- written a definitive procedural description on the salient points of this operation, for placement in the open domain. It is understood there are many other views with many other variations in procedure, reflected by variations of equipment types. My intention of basing my procedural description with a modified Carlton 2300 stump grinder is to keep it simple, without all the "bells and whistles" of modern stump grinding machines. However, this old (1997) model has been updated with a Lombardi diesel engine to give it performance approaching modern machines. I have added a number of my own "bells and whistles" in the form of various gauges which I feel are important to gain a general understanding of machine performance. Further, old fashioned finger type cutter teeth are used. This is a personal preference based on cost alone. I also recognize the OEM improvements made to modern stump grinders, and do not intend for these writings to diminish those improvements in any conceivable way. Again I re-emphasize the use of an old model Carlton 2300 is to keep it simple in spite of the below listed changes to the machine. My wish, and hope is that some of this will spark additional thoughts and improvements to increased safety, and productivity in a potentially hazardous operation. Stump grinding is inherently a hazardous operation to people, pets, and property. The scope of this procedural description assumes a familiarity with all necessary safety equipment, and will only make occasional reference to such equipment within the context of my operational method and procedure. I will begin with a list of modifications made to this old Carlton 2300 including reasons:

If waiting for a natural, organic decay is not an option due to any time constraints a homeowner may be facing, another possibility for stump removal is to use a commercial chemical to assist with the breakdown in a more expedient timeframe. Consistent applications according to the directions on the product can accelerate the breakdown process. Once the stump is soft enough, many attempt to remove it by burning it. However, there are several other considerations to bear in mind with this method. Tree Stump Grinding Auckland

First, even using a chemical in an attempt to accelerate the decay process, followed by a burn, may still take more time than the homeowner desires. Second, there are legalities to consider before burning a stump, such as acquiring a permit to burn and any "no burn" injunctions municipalities may enforce. Finally, there are safety concerns to consider. Would a burn somehow become uncontrolled? Is it near your home or that of a neighbor's? Is it near other personal property, such as outbuildings, equipment, or livestock? Is it near brush that could catch fire and spread easily? As this method certainly involves a certain degree of risk, it should not be approached with a flippant attitude.

The quickest method for having a tree stump removed is stump grinding there is generally more expense involved with this method, but the equipment used by professionals is much more efficient than the other options discussed here. Consult an Austin tree trimming professional for more information regarding procedures and overall cost. Depending upon the size of the stump, in very little time at all, the stump can be completely removed. Of course, stump removal through grinding may be done for aesthetic purposes, but there is also some practicality to it. If a stump is removed by grinding below grade level, then new grass can grow and mower blades are less compromised. There is also a decreased risk for termites when a stump is removed.
