Why you ought to grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same area

Tree roots usually spread out in to the yard just about as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind making it impossible to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 feet of the existing location.

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

Aged tree roots take a long time to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly too. Roots connected to a stump seem to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Specific trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump helps prevent the tree from developing into an unwanted 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 hazard for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the top reason why a big tree stump ought to be removed instead of 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 was not until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
