Stump Grinding in Sittingbourne

Stump grinding is the procedure where the stump of a felled tree is cleared away. Frequently during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are retained in the soil, making the nearby area unusable in addition to potentially providing a habitat for insects or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the soil, removing them can open up the space, presenting you with added space that you could use to grow your lawn area or provide fresh areas to install patio or decking. Competent stump grinding companies can take out stumps of any scale. The technique commonly requires trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards making use of specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches underneath the dirt surface to allow planting, however sometimes landscaping projects may require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are created by the stump grinding can be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Also, numerous skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist narrow equipment that may be used if there is limited access to your garden for example, via a side passageway.
