The primary reason why people choose to grind a tree stump is to save money. The tree stump will be grinded but the stump’s root system will remain in the ground. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not grow any new vegetation in that area. When the roots from the stump remain, they rot and change the PH level of the soil, they block new roots from growing and steal necessary nutrients. Most tree stumps do not extend more than 6 inches below the surface of the ground. Therefore, new vegetation will have to compete for space and nutrients once they encounter the old roots. If you want to plant new vegetation, we recommend that you select our tree stump removal service instead.
