Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems frequently extend out into the yard virtually as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind making it difficult to start a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 feet of the old site.

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

Old tree roots take forever to break down

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

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

There have been instances where an 80 year walnut was removed leaving behind a stump with a girth of over 100 inches. It wasn’t until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
