Why you should take out tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post outlines the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same location

Tree roots commonly stretch out into the yard nearly as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree at any place 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 has to be ground up in order to create some space.

Aged tree roots take a long time to break down

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots break down swiftly as well. Roots attached to a stump appear to last much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Certain trees do not really die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year. These suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than 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 reduces the chances of the tree from turning 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 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 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.
