Why you ought to remove 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 difficult to replant in the same stump location

Tree roots generally stretch out in to the yard nearly as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the existing location. If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump will need to 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 attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Suckers may spring up

Some trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year. These suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump helps prevent the tree from developing into an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Potential hazard for injury

The potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the most significant reason why a substantial tree stump should be removed instead of being actually left in place. There have been instances where an 80 yr 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 approximately 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
