Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post outlines the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same location

Tree roots most likely stretch out into the yard virtually 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 unfeasible to plant a new| replacement tree any where inside 10 ft of the existing location.

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

Older tree roots take forever to degrade

After 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 get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Particular trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump defends against the tree from becoming 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 for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the primary reason why a big tree stump should be removed instead of 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 wasn’t until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
