Why you should 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 stump location

Tree roots most likely extend out into the yard practically 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.

If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a brand-new one| then the stump should be ground up so as to create some space.

Aged tree roots take years to decompose

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

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Particular trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump stops the tree from developing into an undesirable addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding 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 biggest reason why a sizeable tree stump should 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 was not 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 occur anytime.
