Stump Grinding in Herefordshire

Stump grinding describes the procedure in which the stump of a previously felled tree is extracted. Typically during tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root structure are left behind in the earth, making the adjacent space impractical to use together with possibly enticing insect pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the ground, extracting them could clear the space, presenting you with additional space to extend your lawn size or provide new areas to lay patio or decking. Competent stump grinding companies can take out stumps of any proportion. The operation typically involves cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and then utilising specialist stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches underneath the ground surface to allow for replanting, although sometimes 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 for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. In addition, numerous experienced stump grinding companies have specialist thin equipment that can be used if there is restricted access to your garden such as through a side passageway.
