Stump Grinding in West Malling

Stump grinding describes the process in which the stump of a previously felled tree is taken out. Commonly during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the earth, making the nearby space unusable together with possibly providing a habitat for insects or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the soil, having them taken out can open up the garden, presenting you with added space to broaden your lawn size or add fresh areas to install patio or decking. Experienced stump grinding businesses can take out stumps of any size. The method usually comprises cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible using a chainsaw, and afterwards utilising specialist stump grinding devices to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches below the soil surface to enable replanting, however sometimes landscaping projects might require the stump to be removed deeper than this. The wood chippings that are created by the stump grinding can 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 and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Also, numerous experienced stump grinding companies have specialist thin machines that could be employed if there is limited access to your garden such as through a side passageway.
