Stump Grinding in Hinckley

Stump grinding describes the process in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is removed. Generally after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are retained in the ground, making the neighbouring space impractical to use and also possibly enticing insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the ground, having them cleared could open up the location, offering added space to expand your lawn area or add new spaces to lay patio or decking. Expert stump grinding companies can take out stumps of any proportion. The procedure usually comprises trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards employing specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches underneath the ground surface to allow planting, however occasionally landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is created by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Also, many specialist stump grinding companies offer specialist narrow machines that may be used if there is limited access to your garden such as through a side alley.
