Stump Grinding in Harpenden

Stump grinding refers to the process where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is disposed of. Generally during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the earth, making the adjacent space unusable along with possibly appealing to insects or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the earth, taking them out can clear the location, providing you with extra space that you could use to grow your lawn area or create fresh areas to install patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding firms can remove stumps of any size. The method normally requires cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and afterwards making use of specialised stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches under the dirt surface to permit planting, however in some scenarios landscaping projects may need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is made by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. Furthermore, lots of experienced stump grinding companies provide specialist narrow equipment that could be used if there is restricted access to your garden for example, via a side alley.
