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

The following post details the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Tree roots most likely spread out in to the yard nearly as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it unfeasible to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the existing site.

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

Aged tree roots take a long time to decompose

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate swiftly also. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Specific trees do not really die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These kinds of suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will likely return 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 turning into an unwanted 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 for injury

The potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the primary reason why a large tree stump should be removed as opposed to 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 was not until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
