An old stump left behind after tree removal can cause more problems than you might think. At Utah Tree Removal, we offer complete stump removal services designed to eliminate the stump and root system, restoring your landscape and eliminating future headaches.
Why Stump Removal Is Important
While stump grinding is a popular choice, sometimes complete removal is the better long-term solution for your property’s needs.
Risks of Leaving a Stump
- Tripping Hazard: Stumps present a danger to children, guests, and pets.
- Pest Attraction: Termites, ants, and other insects love decaying wood.
- Disease Spread: Rotting stumps can harbor fungi and diseases that may affect healthy trees nearby.
- Aesthetic Issues: Stumps create unsightly bumps in your yard and reduce curb appeal.
- Future Regrowth: Some trees regenerate aggressively from leftover stumps and roots.
