Why you ought to take out tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following blog post outlines the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding service.

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

Stump grinding Harriman NYTree root systems usually extend out in to the yard just about as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left making it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree any where inside 10 feet of the existing site. If you choose to replace that old shade tree with a brand-new one| then the stump has to be ground up so as to create some space.

Old tree roots take a long time to decompose

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly too. Roots attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.

Suckers may break out

Certain trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following year. These kinds of suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than coming back as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump defends against 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 endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Potential hazard for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most important reason why a large tree stump should be removed instead of being left in place. There have been instances where an 80 year walnut was removed leaving behind a stump with a girth of over 100 inches. It was not until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
