Don’t Neglect Stumps!
Tree cutting involves the removal of tree stumps. Tree removal leaves behind unattractive stumps that are difficult to remove. To guarantee that the tree is entirely removed, stump removal is necessary. Arborists often conduct this task, and heavy-duty equipment is employed. Here’s why it’s vital:
Accountability
Children running quickly can miss the stump if they are playing in the yard where it has been left and face the danger of suffering catastrophic injuries. Roots protruding from the stump might trip visitors. Anyone moving through the yard after dark runs the danger of tripping over the rocky ground. A guest might get an injury at a backyard celebration by stumbling on a tree stump they weren’t expecting. The area around the stump may experience soil settlement, producing depressions in the ground that might lead to trips and falls. Nobody wants a visitor to get hurt, and dealing with the liability concerns that arise from an incident is never easy.
Further Growth
Another factor is that a tree’s stump might continue to grow after it has been chopped down. The yard, cement, or sewage pipes might be harmed if the roots continue to expand as a result of this new growth. Furthermore, the minerals in the soil will be depleted by this new growth, damaging neighboring plants like grass. The grass is the plant type that is most vulnerable to the problems caused by this ongoing growth. The grass will frequently die from a lack of water, and any attempts to water it will just promote new growth around the stump. The expansion of the stump will accelerate while the grass continues to disappear.
Pests
Tree stumps draw pests and other insects. Termites are a particularly destructive bug that may invade a home when their population has gotten too big for them to remain contained in the stump. Live trees may also be prone to illness and pests, but tree stumps are particularly weak. If a tree stump is home to a disease, it is likely that other trees will get infected as well. It’s kind of like having an open, infected wound when a beheaded tree is lying in your yard.
