Thinking of just leaving the stump?
Consider this. Decomposing and decaying stumps attract a variety of unfriendly visitors such as mice, beetles, termites, carpenter ants, organisms, fungi and diseases. These destructive pests can become a health concern to nearby healthy trees, shrubs and plants. They can also pose a safety hazard, particularly when there is ground coverage from leaves or grass, creating a potentially dangerous trip hazard or lawn mower destroyer.
Can stumps grow back?
In some cases, yes, stumps can grow back into full-grown trees. Depending on how healthy the roots are, when some species of trees are cut down they can regenerate new sprouts (or suckers). Eventually, these shoots grow back assuming a dominant trunk(s) and become a tree again. Grinding, removal and chemical control are the most effective methods for preventing regrowth.
Conversely, some stumps and their roots can take decades to decompose, particularly if the tree and roots were previously in good health and a lack of organisms are present to aid in accelerating decomposition.
Is it better to grind or remove a stump?
Stump removal is challenging and could be very labor intensive. It requires heavy machinery, and sometimes a crane, to dig or pull out the stump and tree roots. Some roots can extend well past the drip line, and over 100 feet beyond the stump, potentially destroying a lawn along with underground pipes and wiring.
Stump grinding, however, is quicker, safer and more economical. It leaves minimal lawn damage, if any, and the decomposing chips left behind make a good organic amendment to the soil. In most cases, the location becomes ideal for replanting grass or various types of shrubs and plants.
