Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post outlines the many reasons why you should consider our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same location

Tree roots generally stretch out in to the yard practically as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind making it impossible to plant a new| replacement tree any where inside 10 ft of the existing location.

If you intend to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump needs to be ground up in order to create some space.

Aged tree roots take years to degrade

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to last much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Various trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following year. These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump helps prevent the tree from developing into 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.

Stump Removal lessens potential for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the top reason why a big tree stump should be removed instead of 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 was not until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to happen.
