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

The following post details the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same location

Tree roots generally spread out in to the yard almost as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind which makes it unfeasible to start a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 feet of the old site.

If you intend to replace that old shade tree with a new one| then the stump must definitely be ground up so as to create some space.

Aged tree roots take forever to degrade

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly as well. Roots attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can obstruct planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Various trees do not die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than coming back as one tree| will likely come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning into an undesirable 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 for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the leading reason why a big tree stump should be removed rather than being actually 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 opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to happen.
