Why you should get rid of tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following article outlines the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same area

Tree root systems typically stretch out into the yard almost as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind making it impractical to start a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 ft of the existing location.

If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a new one| then the stump must definitely be ground up for you to create some space.

Older tree roots take a long time to degrade

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly too. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can obstruct planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Various trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump prevents the tree from turning into an undesirable addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the greatest reason why a substantial tree stump should be removed as opposed to 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 approximately 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
