Why you ought to remove tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following blog post outlines the many reasons why you should look at Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same location

Stump grinding Middletown NYTree root systems usually extend out in to the yard practically as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind making it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the existing location. If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump must be ground up in order to create some space.

Older tree roots take forever to break down

After 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 block planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping amenities.

Suckers may spring up

These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump stops the tree from becoming an unwanted addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Potential for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the leading reason why a substantial tree stump should 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 was not until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
