Stump Grinding in Ripon

Stump grinding refers to the procedure in which the stump of a tree that has been felled is cleared away. Typically after trees are felled several inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the soil, making the neighbouring 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 taken out can clear the garden, offering more space that you could use to improve your lawn size or create new spaces to lay patio or decking. Expert stump grinding businesses can remove stumps of any proportion. The method normally demands trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and afterwards making use of specialist stump grinding machinery to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches under the ground surface to allow planting, however in some circumstances landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are generated by the stump grinding may 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 and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Also, many skilled stump grinding companies have specialist small machines that can be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for example, through a side alley.
