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

The following post outlines the many reasons why you should choose Tommy Trees stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the exact same area

Tree root systems frequently extend out in to the yard almost as far as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left which makes it unfeasible to start a new| replacement tree any where within 10 feet of the existing location.

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

Old tree roots take forever to degrade

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate swiftly also. Roots attached to a stump seem to last much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and various other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Certain trees do not die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the next year. These suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of coming back as one tree| will return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump prevents the tree from developing into 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 potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the greatest reason why a big tree stump should be removed instead of 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 wasn’t until a crack started up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to happen.
