Stump Grinding in Chipping Campden

Stump grinding is the process where the stump of a previously felled tree is removed. Commonly during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the soil, making the adjacent space impractical to use and also possibly providing a habitat for insect pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the soil, removing them could open up the location, offering added space to increase your lawn size or provide new spaces to fit patio or decking. Expert stump grinding firms can remove stumps of any scale. The method usually involves slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and then utilising specialist stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches under the soil surface to permit 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 compost in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. Additionally, lots of skilled stump grinding companies have specialist small machines that can be employed if there is limited access to your garden for instance, via a side alley.
