Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following post details the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Stump grinding Goshen NYTree roots generally stretch out into the yard almost 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 plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the existing site.

Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump stops the tree from becoming an undesirable addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

It was not until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to happen.
