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

The following post details the many reasons why you should look at our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same area

Tree roots usually extend out into the yard virtually as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind which makes it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 feet of the old location.

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.

Older tree roots take a long time to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly too. Roots attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can obstruct planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Certain trees do not really die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the next year. These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning 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 defends against the tree from developing into an unwanted 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 potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the leading reason why a substantial tree stump ought to be removed as opposed to being 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 opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
