Stump Grinding in Lichfield

Stump grinding is the procedure where the stump of a felled tree is removed. Usually after trees are felled several inches of the trunk and the root structure are kept in the ground, making the nearby space impractical to use together with potentially attracting bugs or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, having them taken out could clear the garden, delivering extra space which could be used to extend your lawn or produce fresh areas to install patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding businesses can remove stumps of any scale. The method usually comprises cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and afterwards using specialised stump grinding machinery to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches below the soil surface to allow planting, although occasionally landscaping projects might require the stump to be ground 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 in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Additionally, lots of expert stump grinding companies provide specialist slim machines that can be used if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side alleyway.
