Stump Grinding in Keston

Stump grinding describes the procedure where the stump of a previously felled tree is removed. Usually after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left in the ground, making the neighbouring area impractical to use as well as possibly appealing to insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, taking them out can clear the space, presenting you with extra space which could be used to expand your lawn area or create fresh spaces to lay patio or decking. Competent stump grinding businesses can get rid of stumps of any scale. The method ordinarily comprises slicing the stump as close to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and then making use of specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches underneath the dirt surface to allow for replanting, although occasionally landscaping projects might need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is created by the stump grinding may 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 and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Furthermore, lots of specialist stump grinding companies have specialist small equipment that may be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for example, through a side alley.
