Your home’s landscape plays an essential role in the property’s appearance and comfort. If there is a tree stump in your yard, not only can it be an eyesore, it’s also a safety hazard. Here are some cases in which stump removal services are necessary.

Reasons for Stump Removal

1. Increases Curb Appeal

You work hard to make sure your home and landscaping look beautiful. An unsightly stump shouldn’t get in the way of that. If the stump is in the middle of the yard—or any place that is visible when you pull up in your car—it can distract from the more pleasing aesthetics of the property.

2. Decreases Accidents

One of the major issues about tree stumps is the safety hazard they present. If you have children or seniors living in the home, the stump can pose a threat. Stump removal reduces the risk of anyone tripping over it.

3. Decreases Disease

Stumps may attract pests who make nests, particularly in ones that have wide holes and cracks. If the stump becomes diseased, it can compromise its structure and the surrounding trees, as well.

4. Minimizes Root Invasion

Since the roots of stumps are still growing, they search for nutrients during warmer days. The roots expand until they find a water source—which may be your pipes. This can cause leaks and reduce water pressure in your home. By scheduling a stump removal, you prevent the need for costly plumbing repairs down the road.
