Stump Grinding in Bow Street

Stump grinding refers to the process where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is cleared away. Usually during tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root structure are left behind in the earth, making the local space impractical to use and also potentially enticing bugs or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the soil, taking them out can open up the location, providing you with extra space that could be used to maximise your lawn or add new spaces to lay patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding firms can remove stumps of any size. The operation normally consists of cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then making use of specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches under the soil surface to permit planting, however in some cases landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is created 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 may remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Also, lots of skilled stump grinding companies provide specialist slim equipment that may be used if there is limited access to your garden such as through a side alley.
