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

The following post explains the many reasons why you should choose Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same area

Tree root systems generally extend out in to the yard just about as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind making it impossible to start a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 feet of the existing location.

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

Aged tree roots take years to decompose

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly also. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Certain trees do not really die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following year. These suckers are a 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 parts of the root stump stops 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 hazard for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the main reason why a large tree stump should 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 wasn’t until a crack opened 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 occur anytime.
