Stump Grinding in Redhill

Stump grinding is the process in which the stump of a previously felled tree is cleared away. Frequently during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the ground, making the surrounding area impractical to use and also potentially providing a habitat for insects or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the soil, having them extracted can open up the location, delivering added space which you could use to broaden your lawn size or provide new areas to lay patio or decking. Competent stump grinding firms can extract stumps of any scale. The method commonly involves trimming the stump as close to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and then employing specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches underneath the soil surface to enable planting, however in some scenarios landscaping projects may need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are produced 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 can remove it and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. Furthermore, many experienced stump grinding companies have specialist slim machines that may be employed if there is limited access to your garden for instance, via a side passageway.
