Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following article details the many reasons why you should consider our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same location

Stump grinding Fort Montgomery NYTree root systems generally extend out into the yard virtually as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the old site. If you choose to replace that old shade tree with a brand new one| then the stump should be ground up in order to create some space.

Older tree roots take a long time to decompose

Suckers may spring up

Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump prevents the tree from turning into an undesirable addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

It wasn’t until a crack opened 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.
