Stump Grinding in Northampton

Stump grinding is the procedure in which the stump of a previously felled tree is cleared away. Frequently during tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root structure are retained in the earth, making the neighbouring space unusable along with possibly attracting insect pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the soil, extracting them could clear the space, delivering additional space which could be used to broaden your lawn area or produce new spaces to fit patio or decking. Competent stump grinding firms can clear away stumps of any scale. The procedure ordinarily consists of slicing the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards using specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches underneath the ground surface to allow for planting, however occasionally landscaping projects might need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are made 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. Also, many experienced stump grinding companies have specialist slim equipment that could be used if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, through a side alleyway.
