Why you ought to remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post explains the many reasons why you should look at Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems frequently spread out in to the yard just about as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 feet of the existing location.

Old tree roots take years to decompose

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly as well. Roots attached to a stump seem to survive 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 really die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year.

Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump helps prevent the tree from becoming an unwanted 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 for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the main reason why a big tree stump should be removed as opposed to 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 started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to happen.
