Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same area

Tree root systems most likely extend out into the yard just about as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind which makes it difficult to start a new| replacement tree any where within 10 ft of the old site.

Older tree roots take a long time to decompose

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

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

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

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

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 simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
