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

The following post details the many reasons why you should choose Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same location

Tree root systems usually extend out in to the yard virtually as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the thicker roots are also left which makes it unfeasible to plant a new| replacement tree at any place inside 10 feet of the old location.

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

Aged tree roots take forever to degrade

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate quickly as well. Roots attached 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 break out

Various trees do not die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the following year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and instead of returning as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty trees . Grinding down the stump and the thickest section of the root stump reduces the chances of the tree from turning 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 for injury

The potential for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the most significant reason why a large tree stump should be removed as opposed to 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 opened 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.
