Why you should clear away 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 difficult to replant in the same area

Tree root systems generally extend out into the yard almost as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left making it unfeasible to start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the existing site.

If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a brand-new one| then the stump will need to be ground up in order to create some space.

Older tree roots take a long time to decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly too. Roots attached 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 spring up

Specific trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the next year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than coming back as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump stops the tree from developing into an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the most important reason why a sizeable tree stump ought to 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| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
