Stump Grinding in Leicester

Stump grinding describes the process where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is disposed of. Generally when trees are felled a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left in the ground, making the local space unusable along with potentially attracting insects or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the earth, having them removed can clear the garden, delivering added space that you could use to maximise your lawn area or produce fresh areas to lay patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding firms can clear away stumps of any scale. The technique normally requires slicing the stump as close to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches below the ground surface to enable planting, however occasionally landscaping projects might require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are generated by the stump grinding can be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Furthermore, lots of skilled stump grinding companies provide specialist small machines that can be used if there is limited access to your garden such as through a side alley.
