4 Important Advantages Of Removing Stumps From Your Property
Posted on: 9 March 2022
When you cut down a tree on your property, the one thing that is left behind is the stump. That is why when you schedule to have trees removed on your property, you are going to want to prepare to have the stumps removed as well so that the entire tree is removed all at once. There are some important advantages that come with getting a stumped removed right away.
Advantage #1: Open Up Space
When you have an old tree cut down that you don't want or that isn't safe, you are going to want to be able to use that space. However, if there is a stump still in place, then you are not going to have that space open up to use in a new way. The only way to get all of that space back is by having the stump removed. By having the stump removed, you will get rid of the tree and all the space that it was taking up, allowing you to change and redefine that space.
Advantage #2: Improve Aesthetics
Having a big stump sitting in your backyard or on your property after the tree was cut down isn't a great look. Many people consider a stump an eyesore. You can work to integrate the stump into the landscape. However, even if you decorate around the stump, it is still going to be considered by an eyesore by some people.
Advantage #3: Improve Property Value
Next, getting rid of the stumps left over after you have cut down the trees can help to improve your property value. Having stumps on your property, especially in your yard, can have a big negative effect on your property value. Getting rid of the leftover stumps can help you protect your property's value.
Advantage #4: Keep Pests Away
When you leave a stump in place after cutting down a tree, you are inviting pests onto your property. An old stump can attract carpenter ants that may come into your home. If the stump starts to rot, it can attract termites, which you don't want anywhere near your home. Stumps can also attract bigger pests, such as skunks or groundhogs that may burrow under them.
If you just cut down a few trees around your home, you are going to want to get someone to remove the stumps that are left behind as well. Getting rid of the stumps can open up space, improve aesthetics, improve property value, and keep pests away from your home.
