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

The following article outlines the many reasons why you should consider our stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same location

Tree roots typically extend out into the yard almost as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind making it unfeasible to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere inside 10 feet of the old location.

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

Old tree roots take years to break down

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly too. Roots attached to a stump seem to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Some trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from becoming an undesirable addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most important reason why a large tree stump should be removed as opposed to being left in place. There have been instances where an 80 yr 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 approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
