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

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

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

Stump grinding Circleville NYTree root systems generally spread out into the yard practically as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left making it difficult to start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 feet of the old location. If you want to replace that old shade tree with a fresh one| then the stump has to be ground up for you to create some space.

Old tree roots take forever to decompose

Suckers may come up

Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.
