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

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

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

Stump grinding Marlboro NYTree root systems frequently stretch out in to the yard almost as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left making it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the existing location. If you want to replace that old shade tree with a brand new one| then the stump will need to be ground up so as to create some space.

Aged tree roots take forever to decompose

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly as well. Roots attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Suckers may spring up

Specific trees do not really die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump prevents 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 for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most important reason why a substantial tree stump should be removed instead of 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 was not until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
