Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post outlines the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same stump location

Tree root systems most likely extend out into the yard almost as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it difficult to start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 feet of the existing site.

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

Old tree roots take a long time to degrade

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down swiftly as well. Roots attached to a stump seem to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Specific 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 coming back as one tree| will return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump defends against the tree from becoming an undesirable 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 possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the top reason why a substantial tree stump should 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 opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
