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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems commonly extend out into the yard practically as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind making it unfeasible to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 ft of the old site.

Old tree roots take forever to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly too. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Particular trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following year.

It wasn’t until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to happen.
