Why you should get rid of tree stumps with a stump grinding service
The following post explains the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding services.
Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same stump location
Tree roots typically stretch out in to the yard virtually as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left making it unfeasible to start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the existing location. If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump will need to be ground up for you to create some space.
Old tree roots take years to break down
Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly too. Roots attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.
Suckers may spring up
Particular trees do not really die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the following year. These suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump stops the tree from developing into an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.
Potential hazard for injury
The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the main reason why a big tree stump ought to be removed rather than 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 opened 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 occur anytime.
