Root ball removal

[Jon A]

Hello All,

 

Looking for some advice on what to do with root balls; we are increasingly being asked to remove root balls from sites following felling operations. I have used a few muck away services but they are charging mega money and I'm sure there must be a more cost (greener) effective way. Bit of background we are a ecological contracting company who are increasingly being asked to clear vegetation from sites, ahead of housing developments and are looking for more economic ways of disposing of chipping, large diameter trunks and limbs. Happy for any advice, connections people may have.

 

cheers,

Get the stumps ground out!  Only disturbs the root plate and the waste goes back in the hole. Sorted!

burn them.

Not sure that is consistent with being an ' ecological contracting company '!

Kingwell is the name that crops up, send them pics of whatever you want to chip or grind and they have a machine big enough.

Sounds like you want Kingwell’s rotochopper. I guess the limiting factor will be having enough stuff to make it economically viable to get them in for the day

Appreciated everyone. Contacted Kingwell hire and they are chipping everything and we are selling for biomass.
