Stump Grinding in Southwark

Stump grinding refers to the procedure where the stump of a previously felled tree is removed. Commonly during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are retained in the soil, making the local space unusable in addition to possibly providing a habitat for insects or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the soil, having them removed could clear the area, providing you with extra space that you could use to expand your lawn area or add new areas to lay patio or decking. Competent stump grinding firms can remove stumps of any size. The method typically calls for slicing the stump as close to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards using specialised stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches beneath the dirt surface to allow for planting, however sometimes landscaping projects may need the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is made by the stump grinding could 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 for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Also, numerous professional stump grinding companies provide specialist small equipment that may be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for example, via a side alley.
