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 tough to replant in the same location
Tree root systems typically spread out into the yard almost as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the existing site. If you intend to replace that old shade tree with a brand-new one| then the stump must be ground up in order to create some space.
Aged tree roots take forever to break down
Once a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.
Suckers may come up
Certain trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning into 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 hazard for injury
The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the primary reason why a big tree stump should 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 wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
