Although stumps may be left after a tree is cut down, their placement can present problems in some situations. The stumps are not only unsightly, they can also cause problems for future landscaping projects. There is also the possibility of the stump forming new shoots and possibly spreading root diseases like honey fungus.

What Is Included In A Stump Removal And Grinding Service?

What Are The Hazards Of Leaving A Tree Stump And When Is It Best To 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.
The growth of a tree is not stopped by removing it and leaving the stump. Stumps in the ground can grow new shoots at the base of the stump during the growing seasons, making them appear even more unsightly. The roots of some trees will continue growing even after the tree was cut down. These roots may cause cracks in your foundation, interfere with underground cables, water pipes or your septic system.
Tree stumps may appear benign at first glance, but upon closer inspection they are anything but. Tree stumps could harbour termites or ants as well as other insects such as wood-boring beetles and other insects, which, in no time, an infestation would have taken place. This could compromise your property’s integrity and value as well as negatively affect your plant life.
Estate agents will tell you that kerb-appeal can influence the market value of your home by as much as 10%. You may not be able to sell your home for the desired price if there is a visible tree stump.
