Why you ought to clear away tree stumps with a stump grinding service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same stump location

Stump grinding Campbell Hall NYTree root systems commonly extend out into the yard virtually as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left making it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the existing site. If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a new one| then the stump has to be ground up so as to create some space.

Old tree roots take years to break down

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

Suckers may come up

Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump helps prevent the tree from developing into an undesirable addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

It wasn’t until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
