Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post outlines the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same location

Tree roots generally spread out in to 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 making it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the old site.

If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a new one| then the stump must be ground up in order to create some space.

Old tree roots take years to degrade

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate swiftly too. Roots attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Particular trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump prevents the tree from becoming an unwelcome 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 for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the greatest reason why a substantial tree stump should be removed rather than being left in place. There have been instances where an 80 year 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 a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
