Stump Grinding in Newcastleton

Stump grinding is the process in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is disposed of. Usually when trees are felled a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the earth, making the local space impractical to use and also potentially appealing to bugs or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the ground, taking them out could open up the space, delivering additional space which could be used to broaden your lawn or create new spaces to lay patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding firms can take out stumps of any scale. The procedure commonly includes slicing the stump as close to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and then utilising specialist stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches below the soil surface to permit replanting, although occasionally landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are produced by the stump grinding may be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Additionally, many experienced stump grinding companies offer specialist small machines that can be used if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side passageway.
