Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same location

Tree roots typically stretch out into the yard virtually as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the existing location.

If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a brand new one| then the stump has to be ground up in order to create some space.

Old tree roots take forever to degrade

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly also. Roots attached to a stump appear to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Particular trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning into an undesirable 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 hazard for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most significant reason why a large 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 occur anytime.
