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 services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same area

Tree roots usually stretch out in to the yard nearly as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind which makes it impractical to start a new| replacement tree any where inside 10 feet of the existing location.

If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a fresh one| then the stump will need to be ground up in order to create some space.

Older tree roots take years to degrade

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly also. 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 spring up

Certain trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the following year. These kinds of suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than 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 reduces the chances of the tree from developing into an unwanted 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 collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a sizeable tree stump should be removed rather than 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 wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to happen.
