Most people do not know what to do with the tree stump at the backyard of their homes. Few people think that stumps are not pretty and therefore should be removed. Aesthetically it is true as stumps are definitely not appealing. Moreover if you are meticulous about landscaping and your back or front yard removing the stump is wise and worthy idea. Stumps are also hazardous especially to your children. They might trip over it while running and playing in the yard. Tripping of a neighbor can also become a liability issue and result in an injury lawsuit.
Other Hazards to Consider
There are also some other hazards of leaving a stump in your yard. It can damage the mower if you accidentally hit the stump with it during mowing your lawn. It also takes up precious space in your yard especially when you have a small yard. Apart from that the network of roots may also damage the foundation of your home if it is close to it. Stumps usually take a long time to rot completely and during this time it can attract insects and pests due to decay. Therefore it is best to call for a tree stump removal service rather than leave it and call for pet control service frequently.
Look At the Sprouts
Sometimes, stumps cause growth of new trees and sprouts. This will result in several small trees growing near and around the stump. A regular residential tree trimming service can remove these but will not stop them from coming back. Apart from that the new trees will leech nutrients for other plants near them which will affect your landscape in a negative way.
