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

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the same area

Tree roots typically 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 behind making it difficult to plant a new| replacement tree at any place within 10 ft of the existing site.

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

Older tree roots take forever to degrade

Once a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly as well. Roots connected to a stump appear to survive much longer and can block planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can emerge

Some trees do not die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the ensuing year. These suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning into an undesirable 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 for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most significant reason why a big tree stump ought to be removed instead of 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 wasn’t 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 occur anytime.
