Trees are a beautiful addition to any yard, but there comes a time when a tree needs to be removed, either out of safety concerns or for the construction of a home or other structure. After a tree is removed, the stump will remain, and in some cases, it may be around for many years into the future. Rather than dealing with an annoying stump, consider hiring a St. Paul MN Tree Stump Grinding company and reap the following benefits.
Improved Aesthetic
A stump, no matter how short or tall, is not pleasant to look at, and as the wood begins to age, it will rot and become even more of a visual nuisance. Removing a stump helps to create a more manicured appearance and will allow the property owner to replant a tree in the same spot, without causing an issue related to its root system. While there are chemicals that help to break down a stump, they will not eliminate it.
Reduce Pests and Unwanted Plant Growth
Wood that is on the ground, whether a stump or stray logs and branches, is the perfect habitat for snakes and bugs to call home. Not only is it unsettling to have these pests nearby, but if they come in contact with a child or pet, it may result in a severe injury. Also, rotting stumps are the perfect breeding ground for mushrooms and fungus, as well as a plethora of weeds that will seek to take over any gardens or grass that are nearby.
Safety Concerns
Another reason to contact a St. Paul MN Tree Stump Grinding company is that it will help to alleviate safety concerns and prevent injury due to tripping. Many property owners are also familiar with accidentally mowing over a stump, which in most cases will leave a mower destroyed. Avoid these common mishaps by having a stump removed before it has a chance to do more harm than good.
No matter how beautiful a tree is when standing tall, the stump that it leaves behind when removed is a source of frustration for many.
