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

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems frequently stretch out into the yard just about as far 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 difficult to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 ft of the existing location.

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

Aged tree roots take forever to decompose

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 block planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Various trees do not really die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty new 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 endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most important reason why a big tree stump ought to be removed instead of 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 was not until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
