Stump Grinding in Cornwall

Stump grinding is the process in which the stump of a previously felled tree is removed. Commonly after tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root system are kept in the soil, making the adjacent space unusable together with potentially appealing to pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the earth, taking them out could clear the location, providing you with extra space to extend your lawn size or add new areas to install patio or decking. Competent stump grinding firms can clear away stumps of any scale. The method ordinarily demands trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and then making use of specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches below the ground surface to allow for planting, although occasionally landscaping projects may require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is created by the stump grinding may be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Also, numerous professional stump grinding companies have specialist narrow machines that may be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side alley.
