Stump Grinding in Christchurch

Stump grinding refers to the process where the stump of a felled tree is removed. Commonly when trees are felled a few inches of the trunk and the root system are left in the earth, making the local space unusable and also potentially enticing insect pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the ground, taking them out could clear the garden, offering additional space that could be used to expand your lawn size or create new areas to fit patio or decking. Professional stump grinding companies can extract stumps of any scale. The procedure commonly consists of slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then employing specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches underneath the soil surface to enable planting, although sometimes landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground 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 for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. Additionally, many specialist stump grinding companies offer specialist thin equipment that may be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, through a side alley.
