Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post explains the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same location

Tree roots generally spread out into the yard almost as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind making it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 feet of the existing site.

If you really want 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 degrade

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate swiftly also. Roots attached to a stump seem to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Various trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest section 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 endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a sizeable tree stump should be removed rather than 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 started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
