Why you should clear away tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same location

Tree root systems most likely spread out into the yard nearly 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 impractical to start a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 ft of the old location.

If you want to replace that old shade tree with a fresh one| then the stump should be ground up so as to create some space.

Old tree roots take years to degrade

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Specific trees do not really die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion 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 potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a large tree stump ought to be removed as opposed to being actually 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 was not until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
