Stump Grinding in Eastbourne

Stump grinding describes the procedure where the stump of a previously felled tree is removed. Frequently after trees are felled a few inches of the trunk and the root system are kept in the earth, making the nearby area impractical to use as well as potentially attracting bugs or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the earth, removing them can open up the space, providing you with additional space that could be used to maximise your lawn area or provide fresh areas to lay patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding companies can remove stumps of any scale. The process usually includes cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and then using specialist stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches below the soil surface to enable replanting, although occasionally landscaping projects may 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 mulch in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Additionally, lots of expert stump grinding companies offer specialist narrow equipment that can be employed if there is limited access to your garden such as through a side alley.
