Why you should take out tree stumps with a stump grinding service

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same location

Stump grinding Middletown NYTree root systems usually stretch out into 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 behind which makes it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the existing site. If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump must definitely be ground up so as to create some space.

Old tree roots take a long time to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can obstruct planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Suckers may spring up

Some trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump helps prevent the tree from turning into an unwanted 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 possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the top reason why a sizeable tree stump should be removed as opposed to 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 started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
