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 services.
Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same area
Tree root systems generally stretch out into the yard just about as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it difficult to start a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the old location. If you really want 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.
Older tree roots take years to decompose
After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate swiftly also. Roots connected to a stump seem to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.
Suckers may emerge
Some trees do not really die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following year. These suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will return as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump defends against the tree from becoming an undesirable addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.
Potential for injury
The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the leading reason why a big tree stump should be removed instead of being left in place. There have been instances where an 80 year 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 actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
