Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following blog post details the many reasons why you should look at Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same stump location

Stump grinding Newburgh NYTree roots usually stretch out in to the yard just about as far 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 within 10 ft of the old location. If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a new one| then the stump must be ground up so as to create some space.

Aged tree roots take a long time to degrade

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

Suckers may come up

Particular trees do not 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 instead of coming back as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump helps prevent the tree from turning into an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can threaten 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 substantial 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 started 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.
