Why you ought to remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same location

Tree root systems typically stretch out in to the yard nearly as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left which makes it impossible to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 feet of the old location.

If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a brand-new one| then the stump will need to be ground up so as to create some space.

Older tree roots take a long time to decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

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

Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump stops 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 for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the top reason why a big 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 wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
