Why you should get rid of tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following post outlines the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding service.

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

Stump grinding Thompson Ridge NYTree root systems commonly stretch out into the yard nearly as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it impractical to start 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 needs to be ground up for you to create some space.

Old tree roots take forever to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly too. Roots attached to a stump appear to last much longer and can obstruct planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Suckers may emerge

Some trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning into an undesirable 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 potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the most significant reason why a big tree stump should be removed as opposed to being actually 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 actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
