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

The following post explains the many reasons why you should look at our stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same area

Tree root systems most likely stretch out in to the yard nearly as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind which makes it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the existing location.

If you want to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump needs to be ground up for you to create some space.

Older tree roots take years to degrade

Soon 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 get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Specific trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the next year. These suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than coming back as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump reduces the chances of 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 possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the leading reason why a big tree stump ought to be removed rather than 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 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 happen.
