Stump Grinding in Kent

Stump grinding is the procedure in which the stump of a tree that has been felled is cleared away. Commonly during tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the earth, making the neighbouring area unusable as well as potentially providing a habitat for insect pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the earth, removing them could clear the location, providing you with more space that could be used to improve your lawn area or create fresh areas to lay patio or decking. Competent stump grinding firms can get rid of stumps of any size. The operation normally consists of trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialised stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches under the dirt surface to permit replanting, however sometimes landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are made 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 may remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. In addition, lots of skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist thin machines that could be used if there is limited access to your garden for example, through a side alleyway.
