Stump grinding

Stumps can either be removed by being grubbed out, or ground out. 

Grubbing out means to dig around the stump until it becomes loose enough to extract, and can be undertaken when trees are of a suitable size.

When the stump is too large for this, stump grinding is the preferred option. This involves a machine with a spinning disc, which smashes the stump into small chippings. These incorporate with the surrounding soil and begin to decompose quickly, excess grinding chippings can be taken away but this would be specified in the quote.
