Stump Grinding in Pathhead

Stump grinding refers to the process where the stump of a previously felled tree is cleared away. Generally after tree felling a few inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the earth, making the adjacent space unusable together with potentially attracting pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, having them cleared could clear the garden, delivering additional space that could be used to maximise your lawn size or produce fresh spaces to lay patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding firms can get rid of stumps of any size. The operation commonly comprises trimming the stump as close 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 under the soil surface to allow for planting, however occasionally landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is produced by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Furthermore, many skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist narrow machines that can be used if there is limited access to your garden for example, through a side passageway.
