Why you should get rid of tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post details the many reasons why you should look at our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same area

Tree roots usually extend out into 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 making it unfeasible to start a new| replacement tree any where inside 10 feet of the existing site.

If you intend to replace that old shade tree with a fresh one| then the stump must definitely be ground up so as to create some space.

Aged tree roots take forever to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Some trees do not really die after 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 return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump defends against the tree from becoming an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the greatest reason why a large tree stump ought to be removed instead of 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 started 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.
