Why you should clear away tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following article details the many reasons why you should consider our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same area

Tree roots usually spread out into the yard nearly 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 which makes it impractical to start a new| replacement tree anywhere inside 10 feet of the existing site.

If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a new one| then the stump has to be ground up so as to create some space.

Aged tree roots take a long time to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly too. Roots connected to a stump appear to last much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Certain trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump prevents 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 threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the leading reason why a sizeable tree stump should be removed as opposed to being left in place. There have been instances where an 80 year walnut was removed leaving behind a stump with a girth of over 100 inches. It was not until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
