Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following article details the many reasons why you should consider our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same location

Tree roots most likely spread out into the yard virtually as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left making it unfeasible to start a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the old location.

If you really want 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 decompose

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly also. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Various trees do not really die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following year. These kinds of suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump defends against the tree from turning 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 cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the greatest reason why a big tree stump should be removed rather than being actually 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 actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
