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

The following blog post explains the many reasons why you should look at our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Stump grinding Montgomery NYTree root systems commonly extend out in to the yard nearly as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind which makes it impossible to plant a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 ft of the old location. If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a brand new one| then the stump will need to be ground up in order to create some space.

Old tree roots take years to break down

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

Suckers may break out

Some trees do not die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump defends against the tree from becoming an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Potential for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most significant reason why a big tree stump should be removed instead of 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 a hole some 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
