Stump Removal for New Construction
When considering what to do with the unsightly stump in your yard or property, there are several things to take into account. The first thing is why the stump needs to be removed. If it’s for a permanent structure like a new home, shed, or carport, or if it’s for a driveway, parking pad, or foundation for a metal building; then the stump needs to be removed completely down to its roots to prevent future sinking after it rots out years later.
Stump Grinding in Tight Spaces
The second thing to consider is where the stump is located. When hiring a stump grinding company in Southeast Louisiana, such as KNB Services, the machinery used needs to be able to access the site of the stump grinding in order to get the correct angle and position to properly grind out the stump or stumps. KNB Services is mindful of the aesthetics and health of the property itself, so it’s our goal to make sure we can access the stump without creating ruts or land damage on the property as well.
Re-Spreading Organic Material
The next important item regarding stump grinding is what is done with the organic material created after the stump is ground down. An ideal depth is 4″ to 6″ below the ground level, so it leaves a slight depression in the ground. KNB Services likes to “give back” when doing land work on your property. Whether it’s forestry mulching or stump grinding, we can reuse the leftover debris as an organic soil layer, spreading it back over the area where the work has been done. To that end, we can fill the hole left by the stump with this material, so that it decays naturally into an organic soil layer which promotes new growth.
If you need the stump completely removed, KNB Services has bigger and heavier equipment which we can bring into more open spaces on your property to dig out the stump completely. We recommend that there is an availability of material to fill in the hole left by complete stump removal.
