Why you ought to clear away tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Tree root systems usually 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 behind which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 feet of the existing site.

It was not until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to happen.
