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

The following post outlines the many reasons why you should consider our stump grinding service.

Stumps make it difficult to replant in the same location

Tree roots commonly spread out in to the yard practically as much 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 impractical to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the old location.

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 years to degrade

Soon after a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate very quickly also. Roots connected to a stump appear to last much longer and can get in the way of planting shrubs| flowers| and many other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can break out

Particular trees do not die after they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the next year.

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 cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the main reason why a large 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 a hole approximately 6 feet deep| and that is simply an accident waiting to occur anytime.
