Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump grinding service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same area

Tree roots usually spread 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 making it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 ft of the old site. If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a brand new one| then the stump needs to be ground up in order to create some space.

Old tree roots take a long time to decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate swiftly as well. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping amenities.

Suckers may emerge

Some trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts 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 threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Potential hazard for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a big tree stump should be removed rather than being left in place. There have been instances where an 80 yr 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 happen.
