5 Essential Reasons To Remove That Tree Stump Today
Tree stumps might seem harmless, but leaving them in place can create a range of issues for your property over time.
Whether it’s an eyesore in the middle of your lawn or a hidden hazard, taking care of stumps sooner rather than later will save you headaches (and money) down the track.
Below are five common instances and reasons why unwanted tree stumps should be removed sooner, rather than later.
1. Unremoved Tree Stumps Attract Pests

Old tree stumps, if not removed, can become a breeding ground for termites, ants, beetles, and other wood-boring insects. Once established, these pests can move on to nearby trees, fences, or even your home.
2. Risk of Regrowth
If the tree’s root system is still active, new shoots can sprout from the stump. This regrowth can be surprisingly fast, undoing your hard work and creating extra maintenance.
3. Unwanted Safety Hazards
Tree stumps are trip hazards, especially for kids running around or anyone mowing the lawn. In low light or long grass, they’re easy to miss until it’s too late.
4. Lawn & Garden Obstacles

A tree stump in the wrong spot can get in the way of landscaping, prevent you from mowing easily, and make it harder to use your outdoor space effectively.
5. They Lower Street Appeal
A healthy, clear yard looks far better than one with a rotting stump. If you’re thinking of selling, removing stumps can instantly improve the presentation of your property.
The Simple Solution: Stump Grinding
Stump grinding is a fast, non-invasive way to completely remove the visible stump and grind it below ground level. The leftover mulch can be reused in your garden, and the space is ready for turf, plants, or paving straight away.
