Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post explains the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems frequently extend 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 thicker roots are also left which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 ft of the old site.

If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump has to be ground up in order to create some space.

Old tree roots take forever to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Particular trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year.

Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump stops 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 endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most significant reason why a large tree stump ought to be removed instead of 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 some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
