Why you ought to take out tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following article explains the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

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

Tree roots commonly extend out into the yard virtually as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it impossible to start a new| replacement tree anywhere inside 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 for you to create some space.

Older tree roots take years to decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly too. Roots attached to a stump seem to survive much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Certain trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following year. These kinds of suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than coming back as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump defends against the tree from turning into 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 for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the main reason why a big tree stump ought to be removed rather than being actually 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 approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
