Why you should take out tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems typically spread out in to the yard almost as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it unfeasible to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the existing location.

Aged tree roots take a long time to decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump seem to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

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 possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most important reason why a big tree stump ought to be removed instead of being actually left in place. There have been instances where an 80 yr 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 just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
