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

The following article details the many reasons why you should look at our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same area

Tree root systems commonly stretch out into the yard just about as much 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 start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the old location.

If you intend to replace that old shade tree with a fresh one| then the stump has to be ground up in order to create some space.

Older tree roots take years to decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly as well. Roots attached to a stump seem 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

Particular trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the following year. These suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than coming back as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump helps prevent 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 collapse 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 wasn’t until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to happen.
