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 service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same location

Stump grinding Newburgh NYTree roots generally extend out into the yard practically as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 feet of the old location. If you want to replace that old shade tree with a fresh one| then the stump will need to be ground up so as to create some space.

Old tree roots take years to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly too. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Suckers may come up

Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning into an unwanted addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

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 some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
