Stump Grinding in Borehamwood

Stump grinding describes the process in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is taken out. Often after tree felling a few inches of the trunk and the root structure are left behind in the ground, making the surrounding area impractical to use together with possibly attracting insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the soil, having them taken out could clear the garden, providing you with more space which you could use to improve your lawn or produce fresh areas to fit patio or decking. Competent stump grinding companies can remove stumps of any proportion. The procedure ordinarily requires cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialist stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches beneath the ground surface to allow for replanting, however occasionally landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are generated by the stump grinding may 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 environmentally friendly manner. In addition, numerous professional stump grinding companies provide specialist narrow machines that could be used if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side passageway.
