Why you should grind tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same stump location

Tree root systems commonly extend out into the yard practically 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 difficult to start a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 feet of the old location.

If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a new one| then the stump has to be ground up for you to create some space.

Aged tree roots take forever to decompose

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly also. Roots attached to a stump seem to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Some trees do not really die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from developing into 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 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 yr 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 actually a hole approximately 6 feet deep| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
