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 services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems most likely stretch out into the yard virtually as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left making it unfeasible to plant a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 ft of the existing location.

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

Older tree roots take forever to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly also. Roots attached to a stump appear to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Particular trees do not really die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These kinds of suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from becoming 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 for injury

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