Stump Grinding in Stevenage

Stump grinding refers to the procedure in which the stump of a previously felled tree is removed. Generally after trees are felled a few inches of the trunk and the root system are left in the ground, making the close-by area impractical to use together with potentially attracting pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the earth, taking them out could open up the area, providing you with added space which could be used to broaden your lawn or provide new areas to lay patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding firms can take out stumps of any scale. The process commonly comprises trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and then employing specialised stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches below the ground surface to allow planting, however sometimes landscaping projects may require the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is generated by the stump grinding can 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 and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. In addition, numerous skilled stump grinding companies offer specialist slim machines that can be used if there is restricted access to your garden such as via a side passageway.
