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

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same location

Tree roots typically spread out into the yard practically 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 making it difficult to start a new| replacement tree any where inside 10 ft of the existing site. If you choose to replace that old shade tree with a new one| then the stump ought to be ground up in order to create some space.

Older tree roots take a long time to decompose

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

Suckers may spring up

Specific trees do not really die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year. These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion 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. Expanding roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Potential for injury

The potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the greatest reason why a big tree stump ought to 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 wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
