Hello World! Welcome Friends! You might have an old and dead stump that should be removed from your yard. Or you might have a beautiful tree that is proving to be a dangerous risk whenever storms start to hit the area. You need to remove these items from your yard, but have you ever thought about why you need to do so?
Here are some of the reasons you need to call upon a reliable tree and stump removal service in order to get these items removed.
A Stump Can Be a Home For Pests
If you have ever dealt with a pest problem in your home, you know that you need to remove all of the areas where the pests can find a home in your house. Any areas with exposed food, exposed water, or cool and dark areas where pests can find themselves a place to stay are places you need to get rid of.
Because pests can and will move into your home whenever you aren’t expecting them, and they will come back after a while in even greater numbers. So don’t be afraid to clear out all the areas where pests can make a home for themselves.
However, an old stump can be a home for pests as well. Whether it is freshly cut, dead, rotted, or decayed, pests will be able to at the very least find shelter in the stump and that puts them close to your home. Eventually they will start to venture out in search of food, and the closest target is going to be your house.
Removing the stump will help your pests remove themselves from your yard, which can be incredibly helpful for the safety of your house and yard!
Stumps Can Also Grow New Trees
If the stump is the result of a tree that you have cut down because it was in the way or was otherwise causing a problem, you need to remove it. Because tree stumps can lead to new growths around the stump. These can be a problem to remove because you can pull out all of the shoots but they will keep growing back!
If you leave these stumps alone, you will find that the small trees can leech moisture and nutrients from the plants nearby. This can lead to all sorts of problems within your garden and your yard, from a dead garden to brown patches in your yard.
They take up a lot of valuable yard space for no real benefit, so don’t be afraid to have them removed as quickly as possible. You can boost the health of your yard, your curb appeal, and everything else by pulling them out!
Why You Should Remove a Tree From Your Yard
As much as you might like having a tree on your yard, there are some occasions where you need to remove it. Some trees have been damaged, have died, or simply have decayed to the point where they aren’t worth anything anymore. These trees can lead to a lot of damage on your property and to the people on your property if they fall or branches break off.
The longer you wait, the more that you will run the risk of something bad happening to the tree as well. Don’t be afraid to look at your tree and see if it is decaying, damaged, or is leaning in a dangerous direction. You might have gone blind to changing conditions with your tree, especially if you have been around the tree for a very long time.
But that means you still need to take a look at the tree from time to time and make sure that you can identify these issues. There are also other issues such as an insect infestation, cracks in the main trunk, or other structural problems.
Don’t Remove the Tree or Stump Yourself
While it might seem like a good idea to remove the tree or stump yourself, you shouldn’t. When removing trees, there are so many things that can go wrong. All of them will make the problem worse and can lead to damage for both yourself and the property you are on. Tree removing professionals have knowledge on how to mitigate these problems, knowledge that you don’t have access to.
Even removing a stump is hard to do by yourself. Not only does it require specialized equipment, but you also need to cut through the roots and remove all of them before you can pull out the stump. If the roots have grown thick and are causing a lot of trouble for your yard, that can be a problem.
So make sure to let the experts come in. They will have the knowledge and the tools needed in order to make sure that these obstacles to your yard are removed. Then you can get back to having a beautiful and clear yard!
Honor the Tree If You Can
For some people, they find that a tree is a part of the family or the structure of the entire house. Especially if the tree had grown with them or provides fruit, shade, or the foundation for a treehouse. If you need to have the tree cut down and removed, you might still be able to honor the tree in some way.
You can take the wood and repurpose it if any parts of the tree still are usable. Or you can take the leaves, needles, or pinecones from the trees and press them into a scrapbook. You can even build something on the spot where the old tree once stood.
While you might need to have a sentimental tree removed, you can still honor the tree in other ways. That way, it is almost like the tree was never removed at all, and a part of it is still in your yard. You might even be able to plant a brand new tree on the spot of the old.
