Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump grinding service

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Stump grinding West Point NYTree root systems usually extend out in to the yard just about as much 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 difficult to start a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the existing site. If you really 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 decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly too. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping amenities.

Suckers may break out

Certain trees do not really die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These kinds of suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of 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 hazard for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the greatest reason why a big tree stump should be removed as opposed to 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 started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
