Stump Grinding in Bushey

Stump grinding describes the process in which the stump of a previously felled tree is disposed of. Typically after tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the earth, making the neighbouring area impractical to use along with potentially appealing to pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the earth, having them extracted could open up the garden, presenting you with added space which could be used to expand your lawn or add fresh areas to fit patio or decking. Professional stump grinding businesses can remove stumps of any proportion. The method commonly comprises trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialised stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches beneath the soil surface to permit planting, although in some instances landscaping projects may require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is produced by the stump grinding can 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. Furthermore, lots of professional stump grinding companies offer specialist thin machines that can be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side alley.
