Stump Grinding in West Bromwich

Stump grinding is the process in which the stump of a tree that has been felled is disposed of. Typically when trees are felled several inches of the trunk and the root system are left in the soil, making the neighbouring space unusable and also possibly enticing insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, having them cleared can clear the area, delivering added space to increase your lawn size or add fresh spaces to lay patio or decking. Competent stump grinding firms can extract stumps of any size. The operation frequently consists of cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and afterwards using specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches under the soil surface to permit planting, although sometimes landscaping projects may require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chipping that is created by the stump grinding may be either infilled back into the hole and used as compost in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner. Also, many skilled stump grinding companies have specialist narrow equipment that may be used if there is restricted access to your garden for example, via a side passageway.
