If you recently removed a diseased, dying, or severely damaged tree from your commercial property, you've taken an important step in protecting your business. However, the stump that remains is just as dangerous. While you don't have to eliminate the tree's remains, there are many reasons to schedule professional tree stump removal.

Why Should You Invest in Professional Tree Stump Removal?

1. Prevent Pest Infestations

Decaying wood attracts pests, including carpenter ants and termites, which can move from the stump to your business and cause expensive property damage. Termites and carpenter ants may also invade nearby trees, which weakens them and creates liability issues. Tree stump removal limits insect infestations to keep your commercial property safe.

2. Remove Tripping Hazards

Pest invasions aren't the only factor that makes stumps hazardous. Even if they remain invasion-free, stumps create tripping hazards that can cause legal problems for your business. Rather than dealing with lawsuits, medical bills, and reputation damage, schedule tree stump removal to sidestep property negligence claims.

3. Improve Curb Appeal

Trees make any property more beautiful, but their stumps don't. Even one stump can diminish an otherwise pristine commercial property. Keep yours attractive and inviting with tree stump removal services. Enjoy a green, lush lawn or use the space for embellishments, such as flower gardens, ornamental grasses, and shrubs.

4. Avoid Invasive Plant Issues & Possible Regrowth

Stumps attract fungi and invasive plants in addition to pests. Fungi present dangers to curious children and pets, while invasive plants can affect wanted greenery on your property. The stump may also continue to grow if you don't remove the stump, reaching your business' plumbing pipes or sidewalks and causing damage.
