Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following post details the many reasons why you should look at Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same location

Tree root systems typically spread out in to the yard nearly as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it impossible to start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the old location.

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

Old tree roots take a long time to break down

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly too. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Certain trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a little bit like 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 prevents the tree from becoming an undesirable 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 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 rather than being actually 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 a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to happen.
