Stump Grinding in Birkenhead

Stump grinding describes the process in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is taken out. Frequently after tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the soil, making the neighbouring area impractical to use as well as potentially providing a habitat for bugs or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the soil, having them cleared could clear the area, providing you with extra space that could be used to broaden your lawn area or create fresh areas to lay patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding companies can take out stumps of any proportion. The operation normally consists of cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then using specialised stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches beneath 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 produced by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. In addition, many expert stump grinding companies provide specialist slim machines that may be used if there is limited access to your garden for instance, through a side passageway.
