Why you should take out tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following article details the many reasons why you should choose our stump grinding services.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same location

Tree root systems frequently 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 thicker roots are also left making it impractical to start a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 feet of the old location.

Older tree roots take a long time to decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down swiftly too. Roots connected to a stump seem to last much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Certain trees do not die when they’ve been chopped down| 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 unwanted 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 collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the primary reason why a big tree stump should be removed as opposed to 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 started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
