Stump Grinding in Westerham

Stump grinding is the process where the stump of a felled tree is disposed of. Generally after tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root structure are left in the ground, making the local area unusable and also potentially appealing to bugs or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the ground, having them removed can clear the area, presenting you with added space to broaden your lawn area or produce new spaces to lay patio or decking. Expert stump grinding companies can extract stumps of any proportion. The procedure commonly consists of trimming the stump as close to the ground as possible by using a chainsaw, and then utilising specialised stump grinding machinery to grind away the stump. Stumps are ground down to around 10-12 inches beneath the soil surface to allow for replanting, however in some instances landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are produced by the stump grinding could be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch for other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it for you and dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. Additionally, many professional stump grinding companies provide specialist narrow equipment that could be employed if there is restricted access to your garden for instance, via a side alley.
