Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post explains the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same stump location

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

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

Aged tree roots take years to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly too. Roots connected to a stump appear to last much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Some trees do not really die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump prevents the tree from becoming an unwanted addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential for injury

The potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the most important reason why a sizeable tree stump should be removed rather than 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 opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
