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

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same area

Tree roots usually extend out in to the yard practically as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left making it impractical to start a new| replacement tree any where within 10 ft of the old location.

Older tree roots take forever to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly also. Roots connected to a stump seem to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

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.
