Stump Grinding in St Helens

Stump grinding describes the process where the stump of a previously felled tree is taken out. Typically during tree felling a few inches of the trunk and the root system are left in the soil, making the nearby area unusable and also possibly enticing pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the ground, having them taken out can clear the garden, presenting you with extra space which could be used to improve your lawn area or create new spaces to install patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding companies can remove stumps of any scale. The method commonly involves cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialist stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to roughly 10-12 inches under the ground surface to allow planting, however sometimes landscaping projects may require the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are created by the stump grinding may be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company can remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Additionally, numerous expert stump grinding companies provide specialist thin equipment that may be employed if there is limited access to your garden such as through a side alley.
