Why you should clear away tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following article outlines the many reasons why you should choose Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same location

Tree roots typically stretch out into the yard almost as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it unfeasible to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 feet of the existing site.

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

Old tree roots take a long time to decompose

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly also. Roots attached to a stump appear to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Particular trees do not really die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than coming back as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section 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 endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most significant reason why a big tree stump should be removed as opposed to being actually 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 actually a hole some 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
