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

The following blog post explains the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same area

Tree roots generally extend out in to 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 which makes it impractical to start a new| replacement tree any where inside 10 feet of the old location.

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

Aged tree roots take forever to decompose

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down swiftly as well. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Certain trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the following year.

Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump reduces the chances of 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 endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the leading reason why a big tree stump should be removed instead of 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 a hole some 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
