Stump Grinding in Northern Ireland

Stump grinding refers to the procedure in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is disposed of. Commonly after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are kept in the earth, making the neighbouring space unusable together with potentially attracting pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the earth, removing them could clear the space, delivering additional space which could be used to expand your lawn size or create fresh spaces to install patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding companies can take out stumps of any size. The method ordinarily comprises trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then utilising specialised stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches under the ground surface to allow replanting, although in some circumstances landscaping projects might require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is made by the stump grinding can be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. Additionally, many skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist thin machines that may be employed if there is limited access to your garden for example, via a side alleyway.
