What Are The Hazards Of Leaving A Tree Stump And When Is It Best To Remove It?
A tree stump left in your garden could cause many problems.
First, it can be a dangerous obstruction, especially for small children who might trip and fall while playing. The stump can also cause a liability problem. Someone who trips and falls on the stump could claim that you were negligent in leaving it.
Removal of the tree, but leaving behind a stump, does not signify the end of growth. Stumps can sprout new growth from their base in the growing season, which makes them look even more unsightly. With some tree species, roots can continue to grow even after the tree is 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 are a breeding ground for termites, ants, wood-boring beetles and other insects, which could quickly lead to an infestation. 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 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.
