Why you ought to get rid of tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same area

Tree roots commonly extend out into the yard almost as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind making it difficult to start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the existing site.

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

Old tree roots take a long time to decompose

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly also. Roots attached to a stump seem to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Specific trees do not really die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the subsequent year.

Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts 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. Expanding 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 large tree stump ought to be removed instead of 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 was not until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
