Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems usually spread out in to the yard virtually as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind making it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 feet of the old site.

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

Aged tree roots take a long time to decompose

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

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Some trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following year. These suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning into an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the primary reason why a large 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 wasn’t until a crack opened 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.
