Stump Grinding in Abbots Leigh

Stump grinding describes the process where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is disposed of. Frequently after trees are felled a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the ground, making the nearby area unusable in addition to potentially providing a habitat for insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the ground, having them removed can clear the garden, presenting you with extra space that you could use to improve your lawn size or create new areas to install patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding firms can remove stumps of any scale. The operation commonly includes slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialist stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches underneath the soil surface to permit replanting, although occasionally landscaping projects may require the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are made by the stump grinding can be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. Additionally, lots of skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist small machines that could be used if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side passageway.
