Why you ought to remove tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same area

Tree roots generally spread out in to the yard virtually as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the existing location.

If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a brand-new one| then the stump needs to be ground up for you to create some space.

Aged tree roots take years to decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly also. Roots connected to a stump seem to survive much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Particular trees do not really die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the following 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 return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump defends against the tree from becoming an unwanted 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 hazard for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most important reason why a substantial 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 a hole some 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to happen.
