Removing Tree Stumps Properly

Importance of Tree Stump Grinding

Tree stumps are not only a huge eyesore, but they take up a lot of space in your yard and pose several risks to you and yours. Aesthetically speaking, the sight of a tree stump is very unappealing, but beyond that, it also poses many risks and dangers. Tree stump grinding is literally grinding a tree stump. Different from stump removal, stump grinding shaves the tree trunk down to an inch below the soil or more. Stump grinding is generally chosen by most homeowners because it is faster and less expensive.

Having a stump in the middle of a lawn is a hazard. Think about anyone playing or running on the lawn. The stump presents a trip hazard, which could lead to injury. In addition to being a hazard for those running or playing, they can also be a hazard to lawn equipment.

One of the important reasons is the liability issue. Children playing in the yard where a stump has been left run a risk of serious injury, and children running fast may not notice the stump. Visitors may trip over roots growing out from the stump. Anyone moving about in the yard during the dark is at risk of tripping over the stump. A backyard party could wind up with a guest being hurt by tripping over a tree stump they didn’t know was in their way. The soil around the stump can settle leaving depressions in the ground that can cause someone to trip and fall. No one wants a guest to be injured, and the liability issue arising from an injury is also troublesome.

If you leave a tree stump, the decaying stump and the roots take a long time to rot. While the decay takes place, it attracts beetles, termites, ants, and other wood-eating creatures. While they might not cause trouble for your garden, they will cause problems in your home, especially termites. To help protect your home and property from wood-eating pests, take advantage of tree removal services and have that tree trump removed.

Lastly, the removal of a tree does not prevent the stump from generating new growth. This will also cause the roots to continue growing which can be destructive to the yard, to cement, or sewer lines. It will also sap nutrients from the ground causing the lawn or other surrounding plant life to suffer. The grass is the plant life most vulnerable to the problems caused by continued growth. The grass will often die for lack of water, and any attempt to water it will only provide more water to the new growth from the stump.
