Why you ought to grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post details the many reasons why you should look at Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same location

Tree root systems generally stretch out into the yard virtually as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the existing site.

If you wish 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.

Older tree roots take a long time to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly too. Roots connected to a stump seem 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 spring up

Some trees do not die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the ensuing year.

Expanding roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

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 started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
