Stump Removal Is The Final And Most Important Step When Cutting Down Trees

Stump Removal Is The Final And Most Important Step When Cutting Down Trees

Although trees can add considerable beauty and benefit to any property, such as shade, protection, and a natural refuge for wildlife, there will be occasions when tree removal is necessary. This includes times when trees are unsightly or unwanted because they:

• Are dead or diseased
• Have suffered irreparable damage after a storm
• Are unstable and pose a danger to people or pets
• Threaten the structural integrity of a foundation, sidewalk, or driveway
• Create an obstruction to excavation or construction work
• Have matured and are now ill-placed for their type or size

Unfortunately, while removing a tree may eliminate any number of tangible or potential problems, this course of action can in fact create a secondary issue that may also need to be addressed, and that is the matter of tree stump removal.

Stump removal can be an arduous and time-consuming process, for any size or age of tree, but particularly so for larger/older trees with mature and extensive root systems. As a result, many homeowners may simply choose to ignore the stump (pretend that it is not there) rather than undertake the effort and clean-up associated with its removal, while other, perhaps more creative, individuals may find ways to utilize or ‘dress up’ the stump as part of their overall landscape design.

In essence, for the tree removal process to be completed thoroughly and effectively, it must be carried through to the stump removal stage. There are several reasons why stump removal should be performed, including:

• Elimination of potential health hazards (pest or bug infestation)
• Prevention of personal injury (from tripping and falling)
• Removing an impediment when mowing and trimming the lawn
• Providing space/flexibility for landscaping, a patio or shed, etc.
• Less interference with the root systems of healthy trees
• Preventing possible regeneration/re-growth in that same location
• Stump removal enhances overall aesthetic appeal of the property

In many respects, a tree is much like an iceberg, in that what you see above the surface is only part of the full picture, so to speak. To ensure that the underlying or non-visible portion, in this case the tree stump, does not lead to subsequent problems when a tree must be felled, it is highly recommended that the thorough and professional removal of that stump be included in the overall process.
