Stumps Are Hazardous
If you have a stump in your yard, odds are that you or your family members have tripped over it or bumped into it one time or another. If you have children, stumps can be particularly dangerous to their health and should certainly be removed.
Stumps Welcome New Vegetation
If you had a tree removed and left the stump behind, you could be setting yourself for more problems. Stumps often welcome the growth of smaller vegetation and trees, which can cause a mess. Furthermore, the small trees that typically grow from stumps often take nutrients from the other vegetation around the stump.
Stumps Are Unattractive
If you work hard to keep your yard a beautiful place to spend time with your family, a big, ugly stump will surely take away from the overall appearance of your yard and should be removed.
Stumps Attract Insects
