Stump Grinding in Epsom

Stump grinding describes the procedure in which the stump of a previously felled tree is removed. Usually during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the ground, making the adjacent area unusable along with possibly attracting insects or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the soil, taking them out could open up the location, providing you with extra space that could be used to maximise your lawn size or produce fresh areas to fit patio or decking. Professional stump grinding businesses can clear away stumps of any size. The method ordinarily includes cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and then making use of specialised stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches beneath the dirt surface to permit planting, however occasionally landscaping projects may require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is created by the stump grinding could 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. Additionally, many skilled stump grinding companies have specialist thin machines that may be used if there is limited access to your garden for instance, via a side alleyway.
