REASONS TO HAVE A TREE STUMP REMOVED

Do you have a tree stump on your property? Have you been considering having the stump removed? Good idea! Tree stumps can cause a range of issues for property owners including for both aesthetic and safety reasons.

Have a read below as we investigate some of the many reasons why you should have a tree stump removed from your garden.

Safety:

The big reason why it’s a good idea to have a tree stump removed is because of safety. Tree stumps poking out from the ground can be a hazard for your family or anyone who visits your property. This is because stumps will usually blend into their surroundings, so people walking by often won’t see them and can trip over the stump. If you have young children who spend a lot of time playing in your yard, this can be a big issue. To prevent any minor or major injuries from occurring, we recommended you get rid of any tree stumps on your property as soon as possible.

Aesthetic:

One of the most common reasons our clients will want to get rid of a tree stump on their property is because they don’t like the look of it. Tree stumps definitely aren’t an attractive addition to any property, they can make a garden appear messy and unkempt. By having a tree stump removed from your yard, you can immediately improve the appearance of your property and its overall curb appeal.

New tree growth:

Sometimes when a tree stump is left in the ground, it will promote new growth around it. This can generally be first noticed in the form of little sprouts appearing around the stump. If you’re wanting to keep your garden free from any new or unwanted additions, it is recommended that you have the stump removed entirely.

Insects:

Tree stumps can also be a possible cause of insect issues in your garden. A stump left in the ground will often attract ants and other creepy crawlies. This is because the tree will slowly start to decay over time—it is this decay that attracts ants, termites, beetles and any other types of wood-boring pests that are present in your region.
