Why you should take out tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following blog post outlines the many reasons why you should choose Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems most likely stretch out in to 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 behind making it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the existing location.

If you choose to replace that old shade tree with a brand new one| then the stump should be ground up for you to create some space.

Old tree roots take years to decompose

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots break down 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 emerge

Particular trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will return as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump defends against the tree from turning into an undesirable addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Spreading roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the top reason why a big tree stump should be removed rather than 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 actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to happen.
