Stump Grinding in Coulsdon

Stump grinding is the process in which the stump of a tree that has been felled is taken out. Frequently after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the earth, making the neighbouring space impractical to use together with potentially providing a habitat for bugs or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, having them extracted can open up the area, delivering extra space which you could use to maximise your lawn size or add new spaces to install patio or decking. Professional stump grinding businesses can take out stumps of any size. The method commonly consists of trimming the stump as close to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and then making use of specialist stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches underneath the ground surface to enable replanting, although sometimes landscaping projects may need the stump to be ground 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 in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. In addition, lots of experienced stump grinding companies have specialist slim machines that could be employed if there is limited access to your garden for instance, through a side alley.
