Why you should clear away tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following article explains the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

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

Stump grinding Marlboro NYTree root systems generally extend out in to the yard almost as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left making it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the old location. If you want to replace that old shade tree with a fresh one| then the stump needs to be ground up so as to create some space.

Aged tree roots take a long time to break down

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

Suckers may break out

Specific trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following year.

Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from developing into an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Potential for injury

The potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the primary reason why a large tree stump should be removed as opposed to being actually 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 wasn’t 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 happen.
