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

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same location

Tree root systems typically stretch out in to the yard virtually as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it impossible to plant a new| replacement tree any where within 10 ft of the existing site.

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

Older tree roots take a long time to decompose

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down very quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Various trees do not really die when they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the next year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty trees . 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 for injury

The potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the most important reason why a large tree stump should be removed as opposed to being actually 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| which is simply an accident waiting to happen.
