The bare spot above is from a residential lawn. It is a large, circular patch. What is the cause?In this case, the homeowner had a large tree removed and then had the stump ground. Unfortunately, the stump was not ground deep enough, so when grass was planted over top, it didn't have enough soil to thrive.
How could you diagnose this problem in your own yard (especially if you bought the house after the tree and stump were removed)? Dig down a little and see what you find. Is it good soil, or fibrous organic matter? Sometimes, you may even find that the stump is just a few inches below the soil, preventing the grass from rooting well.
Anytime you have an unexplained bare spot, dig around and see what you find. This will help you determine what to do to get the grass growing again.

Nice information on the blog. Removing large trees is a mammoth process and only experienced arborists who are completely insured to perform this task. We need to take all necessary precautions while removing trees so that nearby buildings, electric wire and other obstacles are not damaged.
