Stump Grinding in Basingstoke

Stump grinding is the procedure where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is removed. Frequently after tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root structure are left behind in the soil, making the adjacent area impractical to use in addition to possibly providing a habitat for insect pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the ground, removing them can open up the area, presenting you with extra space to maximise your lawn size or add fresh spaces to install patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding companies can remove stumps of any size. The procedure typically calls for trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and then using specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches underneath the ground surface to permit replanting, however sometimes landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is generated by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. In addition, many skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist small machines that can be used if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side alley.
