Stump Grinding in Southwell

Stump grinding describes the process where the stump of a felled tree is extracted. Often when trees are felled a few inches of the trunk and the root structure are kept in the soil, making the close-by space unusable and also potentially attracting insects or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the ground, taking them out can clear the location, offering extra space which could be used to grow your lawn area or produce new areas to install patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding companies can take out stumps of any size. The process typically consists of slicing the stump as close to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and then making use of specialised stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches beneath the dirt surface to permit replanting, however occasionally landscaping projects might require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are made by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. In addition, lots of expert stump grinding companies offer specialist small equipment that could be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, through a side alleyway.
