Why you ought to clear away tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same stump location

Tree root systems typically extend out in to the yard nearly as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind making it impractical to start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 feet of the existing location.

Old tree roots take years to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate swiftly as well. Roots attached to a stump seem to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

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 actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
