Stump Grinding in Olney

Stump grinding refers to the procedure in which the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is removed. Usually during tree felling a few inches of the trunk and the root structure are kept in the soil, making the surrounding area unusable together with possibly enticing insect pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, removing them could open up the space, presenting you with added space that could be used to grow your lawn or add new areas to lay patio or decking. Expert stump grinding firms can get rid of stumps of any scale. The operation ordinarily demands trimming the stump as close to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and afterwards employing specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches under the soil surface to allow replanting, although occasionally landscaping projects may require the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are created 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 for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Also, lots of specialist stump grinding companies offer specialist slim equipment that could be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for example, via a side alley.
