Why you should clear away tree stumps with a stump removal service

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

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same stump location

Tree root systems commonly extend out in to the yard just about as far as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind making it unfeasible to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 feet of the existing site.

If you really want 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 years to degrade

After a stump has been ground up| the roots deteriorate swiftly also. Roots attached to a stump appear to survive much longer and can obstruct planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping features.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can come up

Particular trees do not really die when they’ve been chopped down| and will send up suckers the following year. These kinds of suckers are a little bit like the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than returning as one tree| will likely return as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest parts of the root stump helps prevent the tree from turning into an unwanted 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 hazard for injury

The potential for a collapse or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a sizeable 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 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 occur anytime.
