Stump Grinding in Sturminster Newton

Stump grinding refers to the procedure where the stump of a previously felled tree is cleared away. Frequently during tree felling several inches of the trunk and the root system are left in the soil, making the adjacent area unusable as well as potentially providing a habitat for bugs or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, taking them out could open up the space, delivering extra space that you could use to broaden your lawn size or add fresh areas to fit patio or decking. Specialist stump grinding businesses can extract stumps of any proportion. The procedure usually involves trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and afterwards making use of specialised stump grinding machinery to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches underneath the dirt surface to allow for planting, however in some instances landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is 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 could remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. Also, lots of experienced stump grinding companies have specialist narrow equipment that can be used if there is limited access to your garden such as via a side alleyway.
