Why you should get rid of tree stumps with a stump grinding service
The following article explains the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding services.
Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same location
Tree roots typically stretch out in to the yard nearly as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind making it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 feet of the existing location. If you want to replace that old shade tree with a brand-new one| then the stump should be ground up so as to create some space.
Old tree roots take a long time to break down
After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly too. Roots attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.
Suckers may spring up
Particular trees do not really die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the following year. These suckers are a 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 parts of the root stump defends against the tree from becoming 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 cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the leading reason why a large tree stump ought to be removed rather than 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 wasn’t 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 occur anytime.
