Stump Grinding in Shaftesbury

Stump grinding describes the process in which the stump of a tree that has been felled is cleared away. Usually after tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root system are retained in the soil, making the nearby space impractical to use along with possibly providing a habitat for pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back yard has stumps in the soil, extracting them can clear the location, providing you with added space to maximise your lawn area or create fresh spaces to lay patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding businesses can get rid of stumps of any scale. The method ordinarily comprises cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible working with a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches below the dirt surface to permit planting, although occasionally landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is created by the stump grinding may 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 for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. In addition, many professional stump grinding companies provide specialist slim equipment that may be employed if there is limited access to your garden such as via a side alley.
