Unfortunately, there are times when trees have to be removed from someone’s property for a number of different reasons. Sometimes, the tree is dying, could be a threat to the homeowners safety, could be diseased and so on. An important thing to remember anytime you are having a tree removed from your property is that it is also important to remove the tree stump that is left behind. Arbor Improvements is here to talk about why you should have any old tree stumps on your property grinder and removed.
Why Should You Remove Old Tree Stumps
There are several different reasons why homeowners should get rid of the tree stump anytime they have had a tree removed from their property. Here are some of the tops reasons it’s so important:
– Aesthetics: As far as tree stumps go, they don’t give an overall feeling of neat and tidy when they are left to rot on your property. They give your yard a feeling of being unkempt. This can have implications for any potential buyer should you decide that you want to sell your home for any reason.
– Safety: When there is a big, old tree stump left in your yard, it can become a safety hazard for people of all ages. It can be easy to trip over a tree stump if you don’t already know it’s there. Whether it is small children playing frisbee with their friends, or seniors that are strolling through the yard, it can be a real trip hazard.
– Yard Maintenance: The last thing that any homeowner wants to do when they are caring for or maintaining their yard is to mow and wedge around an old tree stump. It can make the job much more tedious. Old tree stumps can be quite the yard nuisance.
– New Tree Growth: When you cut down a tree, most homeowners are doing so because they no longer want the tree, or it is no longer healthy. This means that most homeowners don’t want the tree to continue to grow. When the tree stump is left behind, it can cause shoots to continue to pop up around your yard.
– Pests: A tree stump that is left behind will do nothing more than attract unwanted pests as well. There are pests like carpenter ants and termites that would love nothing more than to either build their nest in the old stump or gobble the stump up. Don’t allow a pest infestation to take over your property because of a tree stump that you haven’t had removed.
