Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following article outlines the many reasons why you should look at Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same area

Stump grinding Monroe NYTree root systems frequently extend out in to 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 which makes it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the existing site. If you intend to replace that old shade tree with a fresh one| then the stump must be ground up for you to create some space.

Old tree roots take forever to decompose

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

Suckers may emerge

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 for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the top reason why a sizeable tree stump ought to 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 wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
