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

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same location

Tree roots commonly stretch out in to the yard almost as far as the branches did on the live 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 any where within 10 feet of the old site.

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

Older tree roots take a long time to break down

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

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Various trees do not really die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the ensuing year.

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 some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
