Stump Grinding in Leicestershire

Stump grinding is the process in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is cleared away. Generally after trees are felled a few inches of the trunk and the root structure are retained in the ground, making the neighbouring space unusable in addition to possibly providing a habitat for insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the soil, removing them can open up the garden, presenting you with additional space which you could use to improve your lawn or add fresh spaces to fit patio or decking. Professional stump grinding companies can clear away stumps of any size. The process frequently comprises cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and then utilising specialised stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches below the ground surface to enable planting, however occasionally landscaping projects may need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is produced 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 for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. Also, many skilled stump grinding companies have specialist slim machines that may be used if there is limited access to your garden for example, through a side passageway.
