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

The following post outlines the many reasons why you should choose Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same area

Stump grinding Chester NYTree roots usually stretch out into the yard just about as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it unfeasible to start a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 feet of the old site. If you intend to replace that old shade tree with a new one| then the stump has to be ground up for you to create some space.

Old tree roots take years to decompose

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly as well. Roots attached to a stump seem to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping amenities.

Suckers may emerge

Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump helps prevent 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.

The possibility for a collapse 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 yr 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| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
