Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following article outlines the many reasons why you should consider our stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same location

Tree root systems frequently extend out into the yard just about as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind which makes it impossible to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the old site.

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

Older tree roots take forever to break down

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate swiftly also. Roots attached to a stump appear to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Various trees do not really die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following year. These suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning 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 defends against the tree from becoming 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 hazard for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the top reason why a big 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 some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
