Why you should clear away tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following article details the many reasons why you should consider Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same stump location

Tree root systems frequently extend out in to the yard just about as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind making it impractical to start a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 ft of the existing location.

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

Aged tree roots take forever to degrade

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly too. Roots attached to a stump seem to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Certain trees do not really die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These 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 section of the root stump stops 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 endanger sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential for injury

The possibility for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the greatest reason why a big tree stump should be removed rather than 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 approximately 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
