The growth of a tree is not stopped by removing it and leaving the stump. Stumps that are left in the ground may produce new sprouts during the growing period, which can make them more unsightly. The roots of some trees will continue growing even after the tree was cut down. These roots could cause cracks to appear in your foundation or interfere with pipes, cables or your septic tanks.
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 can cause damage to your property and have an adverse effect on your plant life.
