Tree removal is a common service sought for a number of reasons. In some cases, property owners simply need to clear space for new construction or landscaping purposes. Others have problematic trees that could place their homes and families in danger during severe weather. Some trees are infested by pests or affected by disease and need to be cut down to prevent spreading these hazards to other trees in the area. Though removing the trees helps solve the problem, the stumps left behind present certain issues of their own. Stump Grinding Services in Boston goes the extra mile.
Create Extra Space
When clearing away foliage to create extra space, leaving tree stumps intact tends to hamper the process. Trying to work around stumps wouldn’t be any easier than planning a project around the trees themselves. Having those stumps ground removes the hurdles so you can proceed as planned without having to work around unnecessary obstacles.
Prevent the Spread of Pathogens
If a diseased or infested tree comes into play, only removing the majority of the tree is nothing more than a partial solution. It wouldn’t be much different than treating only one ear when both are infected. Though the stump may not appear to be affected, it could still be plagued by pathogens, and leaving it in place leaves surrounding trees vulnerable. At the same time, stumps provide targets for termites and other pests.
Eliminate Future Growth
Tree roots stop growing once their attached foliage is cut down, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re dead. Stumps and roots often still hold a healthy supply of nutrients. This gives them an opportunity to sprout new growth. Without Stump Grinding Services in Boston, those new sprouts could easily grow into trees, which generates an entirely new problem moving forward.
When excess growth is an issue on your property, tree removal is only a partial solution. Any stumps left behind after removing trees certainly cause their fair shares of problems. Pest and disease invasions, physical hurdles, and possible future growth are only a few of the potential issues that could occur.
