Stump Grinding in Bedfordshire

Stump grinding is the procedure in which the stump of a previously felled tree is taken out. Typically after tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root structure are kept in the earth, making the surrounding area impractical to use as well as potentially providing a habitat for insect pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the earth, taking them out can open up the space, presenting you with additional space which could be used to increase your lawn or provide fresh areas to fit patio or decking. Competent stump grinding companies can extract stumps of any proportion. The technique ordinarily involves cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and then making use of specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches below the soil surface to allow for replanting, however in some circumstances landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is produced by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. Additionally, numerous professional stump grinding companies offer specialist slim equipment that may be employed if there is limited access to your garden for example, through a side alley.
