Stump Grinding in Chalfont St Giles

Stump grinding describes the process in which the stump of a felled tree is cleared away. Typically after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left in the earth, making the nearby area impractical to use as well as possibly providing a habitat for insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the earth, taking them out could clear the garden, offering extra space to maximise your lawn area or produce fresh areas to lay patio or decking. Competent stump grinding businesses can clear away stumps of any proportion. The method commonly requires slicing the stump as close to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and then employing specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches below the soil surface to permit replanting, although sometimes landscaping projects might need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are 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 and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. Furthermore, numerous professional stump grinding companies have specialist thin machines that can be used if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side alley.
