Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same area

Tree root systems generally extend out into the yard almost as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree any where inside 10 ft of the existing 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.

Old tree roots take years to decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly as well. Roots attached to a stump seem to survive much longer and can obstruct planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Particular trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump prevents the tree from developing into an unwelcome 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 collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the primary reason why a large tree stump ought to be removed instead of being actually 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 was not until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
