Stump grinding refers to the procedure where the stump of a tree that has been felled is disposed of. Often after tree felling a few inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the ground, making the nearby space unusable in addition to possibly providing a habitat for insect pests or harbouring tree diseases like honey fungus. If your back garden has stumps in the earth, taking them out can clear the space, presenting you with additional space that you could use to expand your lawn area or create new spaces to install patio or decking. Professional stump grinding companies can clear away stumps of any size.

The procedure normally comprises cutting the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and then employing specialist stump grinding equipment to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to approximately 10-12 inches beneath the dirt surface to permit replanting, however in some situations landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chippings that are 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 environmentally friendly way. Also, many specialist stump grinding companies provide specialist small machines that could be employed if there is restricted access to your garden such as through a side alley.

Balham

Balham is a district in south London inside the London Borough of Wandsworth. The settlement features inside the Domesday Book as Belgeham. Bal means ‘rounded enclosure’ and ham a homestead, village or river enclosure. The area has been settled since Saxon times, and Balham Hill and Balham High Road follow the line of the Roman road Stane Street to Chichester.

Balham encompasses the A24 north of Tooting Bec and also the roads coming off it. The southern part of Balham which is near Tooting Bec features a block of 1930s Art Deco flats called Du Cane Court. There's also the Heaver Estate which can be found in Tooting, which comprises substantial homes. It was constructed within the grounds of the old Bedford Hill House by nearby Victorian builder Alfred Heaver.

Balham is positioned amongst four south London commons, namely Clapham Common towards the north, Wandsworth Common towards the west, Tooting Graveney Common towards the south and the connecting Tooting Bec towards the east.

In WWII, on 14th October 1940, Balham tube station was badly affected by air raids on London. People sheltered in the tube station throughout the raids, however a bomb fell in the High Road and through the rooftop of the Underground station, bursting a water and gas mains and killing around 64 people today. Ian McEwan describes the event in the novel ‘Atonement’, published in 2001.
