Should You Remove a Tree Stump or Leave It to Decay Naturally?

 

Trees also make properties in our local neighborhoods valuable and interesting and in cases where they are overgrown, damaged and risky they need professional maintenance. Whether it is an old tree that is bent due to a storm or a sight-distracting trees that have been left behind due to pruning, there is always one main question that the owner of the property would have: what is the safest and most efficient action?



This is where professional tree trimming and removal is very important. Correct trimming encourages good growth, and avoids falling branches and ensures trees are not over roof, power lines and walkways. Unattended trees in residential places may soon prove to be a liability especially when they are closely spaced. The trimming is more significant in areas where the winds are high, it is raining too much, or the seasons are winter.

Another important thing is the awareness of when to remove tree stump remains left behind after cutting down a tree. Stumps are not only an eye sore, they are also a source of pests, fungi and interference with new construction or landscaping. Stumps can also be a tripping hazard to children and visitors in most of the local yards. The removal of stumps by professional experts leaves clean and useable space and protects underground utilities and the surrounding soil.



It is useful to both the homeowners and the commercial property managers to employ experienced people that are aware of the local regulations, the soil condition, and the type of tree species that are found in the area.
