Stump Grinding in Milltimber

Stump grinding refers to the procedure where the stump of a previously felled tree is extracted. Typically during tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the ground, making the local space unusable along with potentially providing a habitat for bugs or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, extracting them can open up the location, presenting you with extra space to expand your lawn area or add fresh spaces to fit patio or decking. Professional stump grinding firms can take out stumps of any size. The technique generally consists of cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialist stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches below the ground surface to allow replanting, although sometimes landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is produced by the stump grinding may be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Furthermore, many specialist stump grinding companies provide specialist thin machines that may be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for example, through a side alley.
