What Do With Tree Roots After The Stump Is Removed

Picture
Removing a tree is at times necessary due to storm damage, age, or disease. When the tree is cut down, the stump can be chopped into wood and mulch. However, the roots are usually still in the ground. While the roots might not be an issue, some tree types are vigorous growers, and sprouts will reappear in the landscape. In these instances, additional steps in the removal process will discourage the regrowth of tree roots after the stump is removed.

Stump removal by a professional tree care company gets that ugly stump out of your yard, but it won’t get the roots out. This can be of great concern since most homeowners wonder if the tree will grow back in time. Read on to discover what happens to the tree roots after stump removal and how your tree contractor can help to make sure your outdoor space remains in perfect condition.

Stump Removal Process
The stump removal process varies according to your needs. Common stump grinding entails a portable stump grinder that shaves away the undesirable tree base, producing wood chips that can be buried into the ground or carried away.
This method usually gets around six inches under the ground. Even though tree roots go way beyond that mark, the wood chips efficiently dampen growth and shield any sun.

Spreading Roots
Bigger trees with extending roots can also be taken out. Your tree service company must dig out the surrounding area, revealing the roots about three to five inches down and moving away from any dirt. The stump grinder can be moved across the roots.

Wood Chips
The wood chips from stump removal can be combined into the soil and covered in grass, grass seeds, or sod. Bigger stumps make more substantial amounts of wood chips. Ask your tree specialist for options on how to use the chips in your landscape or taking them to a compost station.

Depending on the sort of stump removal method you need, roots can just be covered with turf and wood chips, or as stated before, chopped up with a stump grinder. Match prices and decide which stump removal plan is best for your property and purpose.​
