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

The following article explains the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same location

Tree root systems usually stretch out into the yard nearly as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left making it impossible to start a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 feet of the existing site.

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

Older tree roots take forever to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly also. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Various trees do not really die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the next year. These kinds of suckers are a 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 developing into an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the most important reason why a big 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 was not until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
