Why you should get rid of tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following article outlines the many reasons why you should choose Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same area

Tree roots typically extend out in to 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 which makes it unfeasible to start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the old location.

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly too. Roots attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

It was not until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
