A tree stump in your yard is more than just unsightly: Did you know that it can also attract bugs and even poses the risk of injury to yourself and your family? For these reasons and more, the team at Schryver's Tree & Landscape in Seymour, CT recommends calling for stump removal services as soon as possible. 

Eliminating tree-related hazards from your property is about more than falling branches and deadwood trunks. Tree stumps can take up a lot of room and pose the risk of tripping your children and pets as they play in your yard. If you run over a stump while mowing your lawn, your mower can sustain serious damage. 

When left in the ground, tree stumps may encourage the growth of small trees in the area around the stump. These trees can be a headache to remove because they will continue to grow back as long as the stump remains in place. Not only does trying to remove these trees cost you time and money, but the trees are competing with your lawn and garden for nutrients from the soil and water.

If a stump is left in the ground for a long time, it may begin to decay. Not only is a decaying tree stump unpleasant to look at, it can also attract wood-eating pests such as beetles, ants, and termites. Over time, these pests may move from your yard to your home, where they can cause severe and expensive damage. 

Similarly, when a tree needs to be removed due to disease, the stump can still harbor the fungus that damaged the tree in the first place. If the stump is allowed to remain in the ground, that fungus can spread across your yard, damaging your lawn and neighboring plants.
