Stump Grinding in Ormskirk

Stump grinding refers to the process in which the stump of a previously felled tree is removed. Typically during tree felling a few inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the soil, making the adjacent space unusable in addition to possibly appealing to bugs or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the soil, extracting them could open up the garden, offering additional space which could be used to extend your lawn or create fresh spaces to lay patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding companies can clear away stumps of any size. The technique generally comprises trimming the stump as close to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and afterwards making use of specialised stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches below the ground surface to allow for planting, although occasionally landscaping projects might require 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 compost for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Also, many specialist stump grinding companies offer specialist narrow machines that may be employed if there is limited access to your garden for instance, through a side passageway.
