Stump Grinding in Northwich

Stump grinding describes the procedure where the stump of a tree that has been felled is removed. Usually during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the soil, making the surrounding space unusable and also potentially enticing insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the ground, removing them could open up the space, presenting you with additional space to broaden your lawn or provide fresh spaces to install patio or decking. Competent stump grinding companies can take out stumps of any proportion. The procedure generally requires cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then using specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches beneath the ground surface to enable planting, however in some situations landscaping projects may need the stump to be ground 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 could remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. In addition, lots of specialist stump grinding companies offer specialist thin equipment that could be used if there is limited access to your garden for example, via a side alley.
