Why remove a stump

Facts

Living stump

A living stump is created when a live tree is cut and its stump remains in the ground. The stump and root system may remain alive for several years if its roots graft to nearby living trees.

  • Stumps are unsightly and potentially hazardous. A stumble over one is often all one needs to remind them of the ‘agony of de-feet’!
  • As a stump dries out, it becomes a haven for both airborne and subterranean, termites, in addition to ants, roaches and other such pests. It may also become a den for possums, squirrels, racoons, snakes and many such yard-loving creatures. Once their home is established, it does not take long for them to move in with YOU!
  • The small cost incurred to remove a tree stump can be a major offset to future property damage or trip and fall injuries.
  • The mulch from the stump grinding can then be used in your garden, flowerbeds, or composted for future use. Nothing to throw away!
  • Once a stump has been ground out, you can then continue with your planting/landscaping needs to show off your new nice and neat lawn.
