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

The following post explains the many reasons why you should look at Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same area

Tree root systems commonly extend out into the yard practically as much 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 impractical to start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 feet of the existing site.

Old tree roots take years to decompose

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots break down swiftly as well. Roots connected to a stump seem to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Some trees do not really die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the next year.

Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump defends against the tree from turning into an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

There have been instances where an 80 year walnut was removed leaving behind a stump with a girth of over 100 inches. It wasn’t until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
