Why you should take out tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following article outlines the many reasons why you should look at our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same location

Tree root systems most likely stretch out in to the yard just about as much as the branches did on the live 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 any where inside 10 feet of the existing site. If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a brand new one| then the stump ought to be ground up in order to create some space.

Aged tree roots take years to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down swiftly also. Roots connected to a stump appear to last much longer and can obstruct planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping amenities.

Suckers may spring up

Some trees do not die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the next year. These kinds of suckers are a bit like 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 stops the tree from becoming an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Potential hazard for injury

The potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the leading reason why a sizeable 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 wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
