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

The following blog post outlines the many reasons why you should look at our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same location

Tree roots generally stretch 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 making it impractical to start a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the existing site.

If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a fresh one| then the stump has to be ground up in order to create some space.

Older tree roots take years to degrade

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly too. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

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 opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
