Stump Grinding in Farnborough

Stump grinding is the process where the stump of a felled tree is extracted. Often during tree felling a few inches of the trunk and the root structure are retained in the soil, making the close-by space unusable and also possibly attracting insects or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the soil, taking them out can open up the area, providing you with additional space which could be used to grow your lawn size or produce new areas to fit patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding companies can take out stumps of any size. The process ordinarily requires cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and then making use of specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches under the ground surface to enable planting, however in some cases landscaping projects might need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are made by the stump grinding can be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Also, lots of experienced stump grinding companies offer specialist slim equipment that could be employed if there is limited access to your garden such as via a side alley.
