Stump Grinding in Kingston

Stump grinding refers to the process in which the stump of a previously felled tree is removed. Usually after trees are felled several inches of the trunk and the root structure are retained in the ground, making the surrounding space unusable and also potentially appealing to pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, taking them out could open up the location, presenting you with additional space to increase your lawn area or provide new spaces to install patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding companies can extract stumps of any proportion. The process generally requires slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialist stump grinding machinery to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches beneath the soil surface to allow planting, although occasionally landscaping projects may require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are produced 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 and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. In addition, many professional stump grinding companies have specialist thin machines that may be used if there is restricted access to your garden such as through a side passageway.
