Stump Grinding in Brighton and Hove

Stump grinding refers to the process where the stump of a tree that has been felled is cleared away. Often after tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the soil, making the neighbouring area impractical to use together with potentially appealing to bugs or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, taking them out can open up the space, delivering more space which you could use to extend your lawn or create new areas to lay patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding companies can get rid of stumps of any proportion. The operation ordinarily comprises trimming the stump as close to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and afterwards using specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches beneath the dirt surface to enable planting, however in some situations landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed 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 could remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Also, numerous professional stump grinding companies offer specialist narrow machines that may be employed if there is limited access to your garden for example, through a side alley.
