Stump Grinding in Watford

Stump grinding refers to the process where the stump of a tree that has been previously felled is extracted. Usually when trees are felled a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are kept in the earth, making the adjacent space unusable as well as possibly attracting pests or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the ground, having them removed could open up the space, presenting you with additional space to expand your lawn area or provide fresh spaces to install patio or decking. Expert stump grinding companies can remove stumps of any proportion. The process typically includes cutting the stump as close to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and then utilising specialised stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches beneath the dirt surface to enable planting, although in some circumstances landscaping projects might require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is produced by the stump grinding may be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company could remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. In addition, many skilled stump grinding companies provide specialist narrow equipment that may be employed if there is limited access to your garden for instance, via a side passageway.
