Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump grinding service

The following article details the many reasons why you should look at our stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same area

Stump grinding Westtown NYTree roots commonly spread out into the yard virtually as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind making it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the existing site. If you choose to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump needs to be ground up so as to create some space.

Old tree roots take years to break down

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly also. Roots attached to a stump seem to last much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.

Suckers may come up

Particular trees do not really die when 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 instead of returning as one tree| will return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump stops the tree from becoming 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 possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the most significant reason why a sizeable tree stump ought to be removed as opposed to 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 wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
