Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following blog 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 Washingtonville NYTree root systems generally spread out into the yard practically as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left making it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the existing site. If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a brand new one| then the stump needs to be ground up so as to create some space.

Older tree roots take forever to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly as well. Roots attached to a stump appear to last much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Suckers may break out

Certain trees do not really die after they’ve been felled| 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 likely return as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump helps prevent 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 for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the main reason why a large tree stump should be removed rather than 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 some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
