Once you’ve taken care of the dead, dying, or obstructive trees on your property, you’re then faced with the challenge of deciding what to do about the stumps. Tree stumps will make your property look unkempt, but that’s a relatively insignificant problem compared to the long list of other issues that old stumps cause. Alaska Hydro/Ax Land Clearing offers year-round tree stump removal and land clearing services in Anchorage, AK.

Here are the top four reasons why it’s important to remove stumps and tree roots from your property:

• Remove A Safety Hazard: Stumps are easy to miss, so it may not be long until you, a child, or a neighbor trips and gets hurt on your property. It could even end up being a liability issue. In addition to tripping over stumps, there’s also the risk of running over them with lawn mowers. If that happens, you’ll damage the mower and send wood chips flying.
• Prevent New Tree Growth: After investing time, money, and effort into cutting down trees, the last thing you need is for more trees to grow in their place. Stumps contribute to new tree growth, and you’ll soon see new sprouts surrounding your old stumps if you don’t remove them.
• Ward Off Insects: To all the beetles, termites, and ants that live around your property, a decaying tree stump is a scrumptious smorgasbord. Having insects in your yard doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it won’t be long until those creepy crawlies find their way into your home.
• Optimize Your Space: It doesn’t matter if your yard is several acres or a few square feet, stumps take up valuable room that you could be using for other things. After tree stump removal, you can have a flower bed, a picnic table, or a place for your kids to play catch.
