Here are the top 7 signs that your stump needs to be removed.


1. Trip Hazards

Exposed stumps and roots are easy to trip over, especially in lawns, play areas, or paths. Removing the stump eliminates the risk of injury for children, pets, and visitors.


2. Pest Infestation

Decaying wood attracts insects, fungi, and sometimes rodents. Leaving a stump untreated can lead to infestations that spread to other plants or even your home.


3. Regrowth of New Shoots

Some tree species can sprout new shoots from the old stump, leading to unwanted growth that may require continuous maintenance. Removing the stump prevents this issue entirely.


4. Obstruction in Landscaping or Garden Plans

A leftover stump can limit your options for planting, paving, or building in the garden. Removing it opens up space for new landscaping projects or renovations.


5. Disease and Fungal Growth

A decaying stump can become a breeding ground for disease and fungi, which may affect nearby healthy trees and plants. Removing the stump keeps your garden healthier.


6. Storm or Weather Damage Risks

Stumps can become unstable and cause damage during high winds or heavy rain. A rotting stump may collapse, damaging garden structures or nearby plants.


7. Aesthetic Impact

Old stumps can spoil the look of an otherwise tidy garden. Removal improves the overall appearance and creates a clean, safe space for outdoor activities.
