Stump Grinding in Canvey Island

Stump grinding describes the process where the stump of a tree that has been felled is extracted. Usually during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the soil, making the adjacent space impractical to use in addition to potentially appealing to insects or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the earth, taking them out could clear the space, providing you with additional space which could be used to maximise your lawn or create new areas to install patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding companies can extract stumps of any scale. The process generally calls for trimming the stump as close to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then utilising specialist stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches beneath the dirt surface to allow planting, although in some scenarios landscaping projects may require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is made 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 can remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Additionally, many skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist thin machines that can be employed if there is limited access to your garden for example, via a side alleyway.
