Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post outlines the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same location

Tree roots generally spread out in to the yard just about as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left which makes it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 ft of the existing site.

If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a new one| then the stump needs to be ground up for you to create some space.

Old tree roots take forever to decompose

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

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Various trees do not die after 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 come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump prevents 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.

Stump Removal lessens potential for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the main reason why a substantial 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 started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to happen.
