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

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems typically stretch out into the yard practically as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind making it difficult to start a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the existing site.

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

Old tree roots take a long time to decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly also. Roots attached to a stump seem to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Certain trees do not die after 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 rather than coming back as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from becoming an undesirable 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 collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the primary reason why a large tree stump should be removed as opposed to being left in place. There have been instances where an 80 year 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 some 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to happen.
