Stump Removal advice
Why shouldnt you leave a tree stump in the ground?
- Leaving a tree stump in the ground can create practical, safety and garden maintenance problems.
- Old stumps can attract fungi, pests and insects, especially as the timber decays.
- Some species may continue producing shoots or unwanted regrowth from the stump or roots.
- Stumps can also become trip hazards and make mowing, landscaping or driveway work harder.
- They may spoil the appearance of a garden, patio or border area.
- Grinding the stump leaves the area clearer and easier to reuse, especially if you want to turf, plant or redesign the space.
