Why you ought to take out tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following blog post details the many reasons why you should consider our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems most likely extend out into the yard just about as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree any where inside 10 ft of the existing site.

If you intend to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump will need to 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 deteriorate quickly also. Roots attached to a stump appear to last much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Certain trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the following year.

Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump prevents the tree from developing into an unwanted addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the greatest 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 was not until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
