Professional Tree Removal & Stump Grinding Services in Nottingham

Ascent tree care are happy to advise as to the best course of action when removing a stump. Smaller stumps can often be removed without the use of machinery and only costs the time and effort necessary to dig around the root plate and leverage it out. This can take a long time however and is labour intensive. The alternative is to use a stump grinder. The advantage of this is that a large stump can be removed relatively quickly with considerably less effort. However, access needs to be achievable and the stump mustn’t be situated close to anything metal or concrete which could damage the machine’s cutting teeth. Similarly, the stump can’t be too close to anything that can be damaged in the process such as an underground cable for example. If a stump can’t be removed, a safe, clean, targeted attack on the root system can be achieved using Eco Plugs. The plugs are placed in drilled holes around the circumference of the stump and release granular glyphosate stopping any re-growth. Other options are to make the stump a feature by using it as a plinth for a potted plant or if you are feeling creative, a larger section of the trunk can be left and a carving can be made from it.
