Ongoing Tree Maintenance Is Important for Keeping Your Garden Neat and Attractiv

1. Ongoing Tree Maintenance Is Important for Keeping Your Garden Neat and Attractive Trees which are looked after and maintained, will always serve us well: they provide shade in summer, and in winter their foliage sometimes helps to protect parts of the garden, and flower beds, from the worst onslaught of inclement weather. However, sometimes they need to be felled, after which tree stump grinding in Aberdeen, in Glasgow, other parts of Scotland and elsewhere becomes necessary. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HIRE THE SERVICES OF A STUMP GRINDER? Stump grinding refers to calling in a specialist arborist service to grind a tree’s stump into smaller pieces and chips – after felling it. This service has the correct equipment to ensure the stump is cut into small pieces so that only a short, flat surface remains. There are several reasons why you would want to grind the tree stump. For example, you immediately improve the aesthetics of your garden in order to keep and promote a neat, attractive appearance. The stump grinder removes all unsightly bits and pieces to leave you with a neat yard and garden. Also, a tree stump can pose danger for people that may easily trip over it and suffer serious injuries. Not only adults, but children are in danger of hurting themselves on an exposed stump. By having the stump and any surface roots removed, you reduce the risk of injury to you, your family and visitors. It will also help to prevent new tree growth as stumps can easily produce new leaves and, eventually, another tree where the stump sits. WHO SHOULD TAKE CARE OF TREE STUMP GRINDING? It is always best to call in the services of a company of tree surgeons, also known as arborists, those professionals that understand every last detail about trees, hedges and similar growth in private gardens, on pavements and in commercial premises’ grounds, as well as in forest areas. The best ones often offer years in their industry, and they employ the tree surgeons that have experience and great knowledge about trees and hedges – also where it concerns tree stump grinding in Aberdeen and surrounds. These people are professionals and they use the correct tools to grind the stump down, such as stump grinders, safety goggles and protective headgear that will ensure they do the job properly, with all safety requirements kept in mind. The grinder has a steel blade with teeth that grinds the stump and roots down at very high speeds for which battery power and/or electricity is used. The grinder may also find other tools useful, say, a chainsaw, shears and shovel. The stump will dictate the most applicable equipment – the grinder will know what works best. As the stump or hedge gets broken down into smaller pieces, the grinder sets these aside for the owner to use afterwards as mulch, compost or for other reasons. THE TREE SURGEON WILL FIRST PREPARE THE AREA AROUND THE STUMP Making sure the area around the stump is cleared of debris and rocks, for example, is a task that the grinder will make sure they carry out so that flying stones and small bits cause no harm to persons around the area – or to property such as, for example, window panes. All small (and bigger) branches are removed to ensure the area around the stump is clear of any obstruction. Thereafter the grinding process can commence so that the stump is properly ground down – right to the ground so that it no longer causes a hazard or eyesore. Thereafter you can arrange that all pieces and debris are removed.
