If you have a tree on your property, it may develop a disease or become infested with pests. These issues require an arborist’s attention, and you may need to get rid of the tree entirely. If you’re left with a stump, have it removed immediately. Here are a few reasons why you should always schedule stump grinding after tree removal services.

4 Reasons to Remove a Tree Stump

1. Boosts Curb Appeal

Even if you have a beautifully manicured lawn, the stump will become an unsightly focal point in your yard. Removing the stump will restore the yard’s smooth, even appearance. The unmarred landscape will highlight colorful flowers and foliage, making your property look more appealing from the curb.

2. Simplifies Lawn Care

A stump makes lawn care challenging because you’ll need to maneuver around it carefully when tending to your grass. Accidentally running into the stump with a mower or weed-whacker will damage the equipment. After stump grinding, you’ll have a uniform surface, making lawn maintenance quick, easy, and stress-free.

3. Enhances Usable Yard Space

A stump will take up space in your yard, preventing you from using the area for gardening projects or outdoor activities. Stump grinding maximizes the usable square footage of your lot, granting you a level surface to add other amenities, like a pool or herb garden.

4. Prevents Hazards

If the stump is hidden by the surrounding grass, it’ll pose a tripping hazard to unsuspecting guests and children running through the yard. Additionally, you may be held liable for these injuries, as they were caused on your property. Protect yourself by putting a cone on the stump until it can be ground.
