Stump Grinding in Mid Glamorgan

Stump grinding is the process where the stump of a tree that has been felled is disposed of. Frequently after trees are felled a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are kept in the ground, making the neighbouring space unusable as well as potentially enticing insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the soil, taking them out can open up the area, providing you with added space to extend your lawn area or create new areas to fit patio or decking. Expert stump grinding businesses can get rid of stumps of any size. The method generally includes trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and then using specialist stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches beneath the soil surface to enable planting, although occasionally landscaping projects may require the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is produced by the stump grinding can be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Additionally, lots of skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist thin machines that can be employed if there is limited access to your garden for example, via a side passageway.
