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

The following post outlines the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same location

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

If you choose to replace that old shade tree with a brand-new one| then the stump will need to be ground up for you to create some space.

Older tree roots take years to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly too. Roots attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Some trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year. These kinds of suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump defends against 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 for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the main reason why a large tree stump should be removed as opposed to 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 wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
