When you think of landscaping, you’re probably thinking of lawn care. However, there are actually a lot of elements that go into landscape health including tree care and stump grinding. If you’ve had trees removed from your property and unattractive stumps were left behind, you might need stump grinding services. Here are a few ways that this service can benefit your landscape's health.

Improves the Appearance of Your Yard

Landscaping is about making your yard look a certain way. Most people don’t want unsightly stumps on their lawns. Stumps are a difficult problem to solve without the help of landscape professionals. According to Zippia, there are over 381,044 landscapers employed in the United States. These professionals can help you with stump removal if they have tree care experience. When stumps are out of the way, you’ll have more options when it comes to landscaping.

Adds Safety

Most people don’t realize that stumps can also pose a safety risk to their property. Depending on the size of the stumps, they could create a tripping hazard. They can also get in the way of lawn maintenance such as cutting grass. If stumps are located near areas where cars pull in or back out, they could also present a danger to drivers who can’t see them clearly.

Decreases Pests

There are many types of pests that are attracted to rotting wood. Most notably, termites will be drawn to tree stumps in your yard. If termites create a colony in your yard, it’s only a matter of time before they make their way into your home. We've observed that termite infestations are one of the most expensive types of pest problems a homeowner can have. Termites can destroy the structural integrity of your home and cost you thousands of dollars. Having stumps removed quickly can decrease the likelihood of termites getting in your yard and home.

Increases Property Value

The appearance of your yard plays a big part in your home’s value. If you want to keep your home value high, you need to keep your lawn and property in good shape. Potential homebuyers could look at tree stumps and immediately note that as something expensive they’d have to resolve. This could bump your home down on their list. If you’re thinking of selling your home in the near future, consider stump grinding in order to make your home more marketable.
