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

The following article outlines the many reasons why you should consider our stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems commonly stretch out in to the yard nearly as much 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 unfeasible to start a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 ft of the old location.

Old tree roots take a long time to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Various trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the ensuing year.

Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump defends against 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 hazard for injury

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 a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
