Stump Grinding in Lostwithiel

Stump grinding is the process where the stump of a felled tree is removed. Commonly during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are kept in the soil, making the close-by space unusable and also potentially appealing to insects or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the soil, having them removed can open up the location, providing you with extra space which could be used to improve your lawn area or provide fresh areas to install patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding firms can extract stumps of any scale. The operation normally requires trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and afterwards making use of specialist stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches beneath the soil surface to allow for replanting, however in some circumstances landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground 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 may remove it and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. Additionally, numerous specialist stump grinding companies provide specialist small equipment that may be used if there is limited access to your garden for example, through a side alleyway.
