Why you should remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same area

Tree root systems typically spread out into 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 behind making it impossible to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere inside 10 feet of the existing location.

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

Old tree roots take a long time to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly too. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Particular trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These kinds of suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump helps prevent the tree from turning into an undesirable 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 for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the main reason why a sizeable tree stump should be removed as opposed to being left in place. There have been instances where an 80 yr 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 just an accident waiting to happen.
