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

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

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same location

Tree root systems frequently spread out into the yard just about as much as the branches did on the living tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left behind which makes it impossible to start a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 ft of the existing site.

If you wish to replace that old shade tree with a fresh one| then the stump should be ground up so as to create some space.

Old tree roots take a long time to break down

Soon after 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 hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Some trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will return 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 becoming an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the main reason why a big tree stump should be removed rather than 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 actually a hole some 6 feet deep| and that is just an accident waiting to happen.
