Don’t Keep the Stump

/

When homeowners have trees removed from their yard, they often don’t realize that it may be beneficial to have the stumps professionally removed as well. Old stumps can not only detract from the overall aesthetic of your landscaping, but they pose several potential issues in terms of the health of your yard and can also be an obstacle, particularly if they are located in a high traffic area.

Here are the top 5 reasons why stump removal is recommended.

  1. Stumps can be hazardous.

  2. Stump roots can continue to grow.

  3. Stumps attract insects to your yard and even promote the spread of harmful fungus. 

  4. A left-behind stump can actually lead to new tree growth.

  5. Stumps are unsightly.
