The decision to leave stumps in place can be problematic in some cases. This is not only because they are unsightly or could impede future landscaping plans, but also because the potential for the stump to form new shoots or spread root diseases such a honey fungus should be considered.

It makes more economic sense to pay that extra bit for stump removal when you are removing the tree. Stumps can be quite heavy and big, so the right tools and techniques are needed to successfully remove them.
What Does A Stump Removal And Grinding Service Include?
The stump grinding specialists are equipped with high-powered stump grinders that can grind any tree stump regardless of size.

What Are The Risks If You Leave A Tree Stump And When Should I Remove It?
The consequences of not removing the tree stumps from your garden can be many.
First, it can be a dangerous obstruction, especially for small children who might trip and fall while playing. It could also pose a problem in terms of liability. You could be held liable if someone injures themselves after tripping over the stump.
It is important to note that a tree stump left behind after removal does not mean the growth process has ended Stumps that are left in the ground may produce new sprouts during the growing period, which can make them more unsightly. With some tree species the roots will also continue to grow even after the tree has been cut down. These roots can spread silently toward your foundation and cause cracks. They may also interfere with water lines, underground cables, or a sewer tank.
The stump of a tree may seem benign, but a closer inspection will reveal that it’s anything but. Tree stumps may harbour ants, termites, wood-boring beetles and other insects. It would not be long before an infestation was in full swing. This can have a negative impact on your plants as well as compromise the integrity and value of your property.
Estate agents will tell you that curb appeal can impact the value of your home by up to 10%. If you are selling your house, a visible stump could affect your ability to achieve the price that you desire.
