 While removing the stump after a tree is gone might seem like an unnecessary expense, there are actually many important reasons to complete the removal by having the stumps ground. Remaining stumps in a yard can be an eyesore for the meticulous landscaper. Even an amateur landscaper will have difficulty navigating the lawn mower around the hidden stumps. While that stump may not be considered a blemish in the yard, it can still be a safety hazard. Small children and pets could trip and harm themselves revealing a hidden liability. Removing decaying stumps from the yard will also reduce the amount of insects in the area. These pests feed off the opening left from the tree removal, and then work their way into the healthy trees, plants, and ornamental décor surrounding the leftover stump. The best way to reduce the possibility of additional pest destruction, is to remove stumps. Leftover stumps can also sprout multiple new trees from the roots. When a pesky Sweet Gum tree is removed to eliminate all the Sweet Gum Balls on the ground, if the stump remains, it can quickly sprout multiple new Sweet Gum Trees that will swiftly grow to release their own little hazards all over the yard. Practice self-pruning in a yard by removing the stumps to limit which trees grow back. Whether it's for safety, pest removal, or to keep that tree from growing back, having stumps ground is a beneficial next step after tree removal.
