Stump Grinding in South Brent

Stump grinding is the process where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is extracted. Typically when trees are felled a few inches of the trunk and the root structure are kept in the earth, making the neighbouring area impractical to use in addition to potentially enticing pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the soil, having them extracted can clear the area, offering additional space which you could use to increase your lawn size or create fresh areas to lay patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding companies can extract stumps of any size. The technique commonly demands cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards employing specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches under the ground surface to enable replanting, although occasionally landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are made by the stump grinding can be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost in 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 specialist stump grinding companies offer specialist thin machines that can be employed if there is limited access to your garden such as via a side passageway.
