Stump Grinding in Hartlepool

Stump grinding is the process in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is removed. Commonly during tree felling a few inches of the trunk and the root system are kept in the soil, making the adjacent space impractical to use together with potentially appealing to bugs or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the soil, removing them could open up the area, presenting you with more space which you could use to increase your lawn size or provide fresh spaces to install patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding firms can get rid of stumps of any size. The procedure usually consists of cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialist stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches underneath the soil surface to enable planting, however in some instances landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are made 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 may remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Also, numerous specialist stump grinding companies provide specialist slim machines that may be employed if there is restricted access to your garden such as via a side passageway.
