Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems commonly extend out in to the yard practically 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 any where within 10 feet of the existing site.

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

Aged tree roots take a long time to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly also. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping amenities.

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 little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than coming back as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning into an unwanted 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 possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a sizeable tree stump should be removed rather than 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 wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
