Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same stump location

Tree root systems generally stretch out in to the yard just about as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left making it impractical to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the existing location.

Aged tree roots take forever to break down

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

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

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. Expanding roots can endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential for injury

There have been instances where an 80 yr walnut was removed leaving behind a stump with a girth of over 100 inches. It was not until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to happen.
