After a tree falls or is cut down, you are left with a stump in your yard. Many homeowners leave the stump there or try to burn it away instead of fully removing it, but it is best to invest in stump removal. Below are a few safety and aesthetic reasons to allow a professional to remove the stump from your yard.

3 Reasons to Hire a Professional for Stump Removal

1. Curb Appeal

Tree stumps detract from this; they stick out and pull attention away from the parts of your landscape that you want to emphasize. A stump’s ugliness increases as it ages and begins to rot. In some cases, stumps can also produce new shoots, which adds to their unsightly appearance.

2. Space

Why leave an obstacle in your yard that prevents you from fully utilizing the area? After the stump removal, you’ll have more landscaping options available, whether that means planting a flower bed or building a deck. The added space will also make mowing easier since you won’t have to avoid an obstruction in the yard.

3. Safety

Stumps can be hazardous as well as inconvenient. Whenever you or others use your yard for an activity, the stump will create a risk for accidental injuries. This is especially problematic if you or your neighbors have young children or pets who enjoy playing outside. Additionally, there’s the chance of a stump attracting unwanted pests like termites. To avoid these dangers, it’s best to have professionals remove the stump along with the tree.
