Why you should take out 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 exact same stump location

Tree roots most likely spread out into the yard practically 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 which makes it impractical to start a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 feet of the existing location.

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

Aged tree roots take forever to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly too. Roots connected to a stump appear to last much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Certain trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year.

Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts 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 hazard for injury

The potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the most significant reason why a large 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 wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
