Why should you remove your stumps?3/6/2023 As you look at the stumps in your yard, you may be wondering to yourself what you should do with them. Or maybe you’re not thinking about that at all. Many times when asked, our customers simply say they hadn’t thought about getting their stumps removed. Others say they will just let them rot. Some think maybe they’ll turn them into a flower pot or some kind of yard art. Before you think about leaving your stump to its own devices, let me share with you some of the reasons why stumps should never be left to rot.
EYE SORES There’s no two ways about it: stumps are ugly. They compete for your attention as you look at your yard. This is especially frustrating if you are trying to sell your house. You want people’s eyes to be drawn to your beautiful garden, well maintained home, and gorgeous lawn. Stumps are like pimples that never seem to go away; constantly vying for attention. PLAIN NUESANCES Stumps can also be quite precarious to have in your yard. If you have kids or pets, they can often hurt themselves by tripping on them or running into them. They can be a hassle to mow around and you could easily damage your mower deck and blades if you’re not careful, which would cost you even more than if you had simply paid someone to grind them out. BIO HAZARDOUS You never know what killed the tree that your stump used to be. If it once had a disease, chances are it can still spread to other trees in your yard. Research shows that roots can continue to grow and infect surrounding trees in your yard if not properly dealt with. Although grinding the stumps is not a guarantee the disease will no longer spread, it does increase the speed at which the roots will fully decompose. Stumps can also be a good home for pests like chipmunks and termites. Don’t take the risk of causing more damage to your yard; call Mr. Stumpgrinder today for a free quote. Once scheduled, we’ll come and grind your stumps, roots and all so that you can clear the way for a gorgeous lawn.
