Top 5 Reasons to Remove That Stump
1. Safety- Stumps can be a hazard in your yard as they can stick out and can be a tripping hazard to both children and adults.
2. Looks- They typically are an eyesore to a well-manicured yard.
3. Damage- While taking a tree down is a huge relief most of the time, the roots can continue to be disruptive to your house, driveway, or whatever is nearby as they can continue to grow.
4. Disruptive- Stumps can steal nutrients from surrounding plants and cause them to die. They can also attract insects, such as termites, ants, and other wood-boring pests. These can eventually spread to your home.
5. They can simply be in the way- When mowing the lawn or doing other yard work, it can be difficult to maneuver around and can cause damage to lawnmower blades.
