At Hansen’s Tree Service, we always recommend the removal of a stump. Why? Removing a stump will:
Protect Your Yard From Pests And Disease
When stumps are left behind, they slowly rot. This will invite in pests like termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring insects that like to spread disease and even come into your home. It can also grow fungi, which can be dangerous to pets and young children.
Make Your Property Safer
Even if that stump is close to the ground, leaving it behind can be a safety hazard. Kids running in the yard, you taking your dog out, or even someone like the mailman delivering the mail can trip over it and potentially get injured. As a homeowner, this could result in liability. So keep yourself and others safe by removing that stump.
Make Your Property Look Better
An old stump in your yard doesn’t look pretty. Removing it will help improve the value and aesthetics of your yard. Even ripping the stump up by the roots can damage your lawn, so opt for removal options like grinding.
