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

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same location

Tree roots usually stretch out in to the yard almost as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind which makes it impossible to start a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the existing location.

If you intend to replace that old shade tree with a fresh one| then the stump has to 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 break down very quickly as well. Roots attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Particular trees do not really die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These kinds of suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump stops the tree from becoming an unwelcome 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 hazard for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the top 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 wasn’t 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.
