Rootball processing

[tomh]

I have a large site clearance job to price up. Approx 80 trees. What’s the best way to process this amount of rootballs once dug out. Many Thanks

How big are they?  have a look at Kingwell Holding's shredders maybe? @justinkingwell

Why dig them out then grind them just get a big stump grinder in.

If you dig them you get the whole root and any big laterals out, then a mulcher over a windrow of them deals with them in quick order. Many times I've see roots ground out that then subsequently cause problems as they were not deep enough.

 

Grinders are great for back gardens but 360 and mulcher  works well for development sites where the topsoil and mulch can be bunded and then used later in the soft landscape works.

The stumps or rootballs that we have to dig out we break up using a Lasco cone splitter
