Why you should get rid of tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following post explains the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same location

Stump grinding Newburgh NYTree root systems usually extend out in to the yard just about 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 which makes it unfeasible to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the old location. If you intend to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump must be ground up so as to create some space.

Older tree roots take a long time to degrade

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.

Suckers may spring up

Specific trees do not really die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year. These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning into an unwanted 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 possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the leading reason why a large 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 wasn’t until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
