Stump Grinding in Lasswade

Stump grinding describes the process where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is cleared away. Usually after tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the soil, making the neighbouring space impractical to use and also potentially enticing pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, taking them out can open up the area, providing you with extra space to maximise your lawn area or add fresh areas to fit patio or decking. Professional stump grinding businesses can get rid of stumps of any size. The method usually consists of slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and afterwards using specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches beneath the ground surface to allow for planting, however in some instances landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is made by the stump grinding could 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 eco-friendly way. Additionally, lots of specialist stump grinding companies have specialist slim machines that may be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for example, through a side passageway.
