Stump Grinding in Dover

Stump grinding is the procedure in which the stump of a tree that has been felled is extracted. Generally during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left in the soil, making the neighbouring space impractical to use and also possibly attracting insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the soil, removing them could clear the garden, providing you with additional space that you could use to maximise your lawn or add fresh areas to install patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding firms can remove stumps of any size. The process typically consists of trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards making use of specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches underneath the ground surface to enable replanting, although in some circumstances landscaping projects might require the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are generated by the stump grinding may 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 manner. Furthermore, lots of expert stump grinding companies provide specialist small machines that could be used if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side passageway.
