Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump grinding service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same stump location

Tree root systems most likely stretch out in to the yard virtually as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it impractical 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 brand new one| then the stump should be ground up in order to create some space.

Aged tree roots take years to decompose

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate swiftly too. Roots attached to a stump appear to last much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping amenities.

Suckers may come up

Particular trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump helps prevent the tree from becoming 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 for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a sizeable 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 wasn’t 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.
