Stump Grinding in Farnham

Stump grinding is the procedure where the stump of a tree that has been felled is extracted. Often during tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root system are kept in the ground, making the surrounding space unusable as well as potentially providing a habitat for insects or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the earth, taking them out could clear the location, providing you with added space to extend your lawn or create fresh areas to lay patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding companies can remove stumps of any scale. The process typically requires trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and then employing specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches underneath the ground surface to allow replanting, although occasionally landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is produced by the stump grinding may be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. Also, many expert stump grinding companies provide specialist small equipment that may be used if there is restricted access to your garden for example, through a side alleyway.
