Homeowners love trees on their property. They add beauty, cool the
surroundings, and increase property values. Sometimes, for a variety of
reasons, trees need to be removed. Many homeowners question the
necessity of also removing the stump; they belive nature willl take care
of the problem. First, we will cover the reasons you should have your
stumps removed. In general there are five reasons to have the stump

First: stumps are a haven for termites. Termites feed on
dried and rotting wood. This makes it a very important reason to have
the stumps removed. Termites, black ants, and beetles colonize in stumps
and will eventually spread out to any nearby houses or other wooden
structures that may be nearby when their wood source (their source of
food) has been depleted in the stump.
Second: Stumps ruin the beauty of a smooth undisturbed
lawn. This also reduces the overall value of the property.
Third: stumps contribute to damaged sidewalks,
driveways, and home foundations. Stump removal is a must before any
replacement work, landscaping work, or repair work is performed. If not
done, the rotting stump may require redoing the job.
Fourth: Stumps can be a liability and insurance issues
for homeowners.
Running children or adults just walking across the lawn can trip and
injure themselves. Spending a little to grind the stumps now can save
you money later.
And the last reason Stumps can damage lawn equipment. A stump that is partially above ground or fully covered
in grass or soil can completely destroy the underside of mowing
equipment.
