Stump Grinding in Harlow

Stump grinding refers to the process in which the stump of a tree that has been felled is cleared away. Often after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the earth, making the nearby area unusable as well as potentially enticing pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the earth, taking them out can clear the garden, presenting you with added space that you could use to grow your lawn or provide fresh spaces to lay patio or decking. Competent stump grinding companies can extract stumps of any size. The technique commonly demands cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and afterwards using specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches below the soil surface to allow planting, however sometimes landscaping projects might require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are created by the stump grinding may be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Additionally, lots of experienced stump grinding companies provide specialist narrow machines that may be used if there is restricted access to your garden such as via a side alleyway.
