Reasons To Remove The Stump Along With The Tree

Stump Grinding

When hiring a specialist to remove a tree from your property, consider opting for stump removal as well. Although it adds to the cost, the benefits outweigh the expense. Leftover stumps can lead to various problems, which worsen over time. This article provides important factors to consider when deciding on stump removal or stump grinding and explains how it benefits your property.

Aesthetically Unappealing

Removing the tree stump along with the tree enhances your landscape’s aesthetic appeal. Stumps generally are not visually appealing and can detract from a well-maintained garden.

Hazardous

Stumps can make outdoor playtime a bit dangerous, as they tend to be a tripping hazard and can pose a safety risk especially for small children. This can be particularly troublesome if your child’s friends were to trip and fall. You could end up being liable if they fall and seriously injure themselves.

Difficult To Manoeuvre

If you have ever had to mow around an old tree stump, you know just how much of a nuisance they can be. Old tree stumps can make just about any landscaping task inconvenient, whether it’s mowing, weeding, or even new planting, and oftentimes, it’s well worth the additional cost to have the stump removed rather than deal with the inconvenience of working around it for years to come.

Stumps Attract Insects

Allowing stumps to decay in your lawn attracts wood-boring pests like beetles and ants. These pests can infiltrate your home, creating major pest problems like spoiling food products in your kitchen cupboards. Ants in particular are attracted to sugary substances. Removing stumps near to your home or patio helps mitigate these risks.
