Why you should 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 difficult to replant in the same location

Tree roots commonly stretch out in to the yard nearly as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind which makes it impossible to start a new| replacement tree any where within 10 ft of the existing location.

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

Older tree roots take a long time to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly also. Roots attached to a stump seem to survive much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Certain trees do not die when 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 instead of coming back as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning into an undesirable 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 potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a large 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 opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
