Why you should get rid of tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post explains the many reasons why you should consider our stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same area

Tree roots frequently extend out into the yard practically as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind making it difficult to start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 feet of the existing location.

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

Aged tree roots take a long time to degrade

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

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Some trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump defends against the tree from developing into 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 for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a large tree stump should be removed rather than 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 started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
