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

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same location

Tree root systems most likely extend out in to the yard almost as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it impossible to start a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the old location. If you choose to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump will need to be ground up so as to create some space.

Aged tree roots take forever to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Suckers may spring up

Specific trees do not really die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump prevents the tree from developing into an undesirable addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Potential hazard for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the most important reason why a large tree stump ought to 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 wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
