Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post explains the many reasons why you should choose Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Tree roots generally spread out in to the yard nearly as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it unfeasible to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the existing location.

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

Older tree roots take a long time to break down

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly too. Roots connected to a stump appear to last much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Certain trees do not really die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning into an unwanted 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 collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a substantial tree stump should be removed as opposed to being 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 was not until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
