Why you should clear away tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following blog post explains the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same location

Stump grinding Bellvale NYTree root systems most likely extend out into the yard nearly as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 ft of the existing location. If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a brand-new one| then the stump must be ground up in order to create some space.

Old tree roots take forever to break down

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly also. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.

Suckers may come up

Particular trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than coming back as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump defends against the tree from turning into an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Potential for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a big tree stump ought to be removed instead of being left in place. There have been instances where an 80 year walnut was removed leaving behind a stump with a girth of over 100 inches. It wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
