Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems typically spread 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 thicker roots are also left behind making it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere inside 10 feet of the old site.

If you want to replace that old shade tree with a brand-new one| then the stump must be ground up so as to create some space.

Old tree roots take years to decompose

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly too. Roots attached to a stump seem to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Certain trees do not really die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump prevents 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 threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential for injury

The potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the top reason why a substantial tree stump should be removed rather than 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 a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to happen.
