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

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same area

Tree roots most likely spread out in to the yard nearly 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 difficult to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere inside 10 feet of the old site.

If you intend to replace that old shade tree with a brand-new one| then the stump must definitely be ground up in order to create some space.

Aged tree roots take a long time to break down

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly also. Roots attached to a stump appear to last much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Particular trees do not really die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the following year. These suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump helps prevent the tree from developing into an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most significant reason why a substantial tree stump ought to be removed as opposed to 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 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.
