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

The following article details the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same location

Tree root systems typically stretch 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 impossible to plant a new| replacement tree any where inside 10 feet of the existing location.

If you really want 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.

Aged tree roots take forever to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly too. Roots connected to a stump seem to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Various trees do not really die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the following year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of 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 reduces the chances of the tree from turning into an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the top reason why a substantial tree stump should be removed instead of being actually 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 actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to happen.
