Whether you have never thought of removing those old tree stumps in your yard or you have just never thought about how to do so, there are many good reasons to consider having them removed once and for all. Here are just a few reasons that might stump removal be of interest to you:
Improve Your Curb Appeal
One of the most notable reasons to have your old tree stumps removed is to improve your property's overall curb appeal. While the stumps may not seem like a big deal, they can make your yard look cluttered and unkempt – especially to neighbors and passersby who aren't used to looking at the stumps all the time like you are. So getting rid of the old stumps can make your neighbors happy and help make your property look cleaner and more attractive.
Get Some Free Mulch
Once your tree stumps are removed, you can have your service provider process them through a mulching machine to make fresh mulch for you to use in the yard. You won't have to worry about paying for them to be hauled away or be left with chunks of stumps littering your yard. You can use your free mulch for gardening, to fill in gravel or dirt paths, or to create a pen floor for chickens to roam around on.
Create More Usable Space
Those old tree stumps in the yard are likely taking up a lot more space than you realize. Instead of a tree trunk sticking out of the ground, a gazebo for the adults or a small playhouse for the kids could be sitting there. And the kids and dogs will have more room to play when stumps aren't creating unnecessary obstacles for them. Maybe the family can enjoy activities like golf putting and slip and sliding when there aren't tree stumps in the way.
Keep Everyone Safe While Outside
Another important reason to consider having your old tree trunks removed is to ensure everyone's safety when they are spending time in your yard. Children who are running around can trip and hurt themselves on the stumps which could end with the need for a visit to the emergency room. Animals can scratch themselves and get slivers when rubbing up against the stump. Even adults can accidentally walk into a stump and injure themselves needlessly. Luckily, getting rid of your old stumps will eliminate the possibility that any of these things will happen.
