Why you should take out tree stumps with a stump grinding service
The following blog post explains the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding services.
Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same area
Tree roots commonly extend out into the yard almost as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree any where inside 10 ft of the old site. If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a brand new one| then the stump will need to be ground up for you to create some space.
Old tree roots take forever to break down
After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate swiftly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to last much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.
Suckers may break out
Specific trees do not really die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year. These suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than coming back as one tree| will return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump helps prevent the tree from developing into an undesirable addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.
Potential hazard for injury
The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a large tree stump ought to be removed rather than 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 approximately 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
