When it comes to stump grinding, this is often overlooked, even though it is a crucial part of having a beautiful, healthy yard. In cities, like Toronto, it can be very noticeable. Taking away stumps is an easy way to transform the appeal of your property and improve the health and safety of it too. Our team at Five Star Tree Services want to go over some reasons to get stump grinding done for your yard.
Safety
There are hidden dangers if tree stumps are left. Particularly for homes that have pets or children. They also pose an obstacle for lawn equipment and can damage it. Stump grinding is going to help eliminate the hazards that come with stumps. This will allow you to have a safe space for your kids, pets, and lawn maintenance tools.
Aesthetic
The overall look of tree stumps is unappealing to most people. They are an eyesore and diminish the look of yards. Not only this but they also take up valuable space that could be used as a spot to plant another tree, or create a garden bed, or even build a play area for kids. Utilizing stump grinding will effectively remove the stumps, so you have a clear canvas to design your landscape.
Enriched Soil
When you grind a stump, this creates wood chips. When these are left behind, it helps to enrich the soil. Over time, these decompose and release their nutrients into the ground. You can then use this for mulch or plantings.
Prevent Disease & Pest Spread
When stumps are left behind and unattended, they are a breeding ground for pests and disease. This can leave your other trees and plants at a higher risk of contracting these things themselves. When you grind your stumps down, this effectively eliminates the potential for these pests and diseases to be in your yard. Therefore, safeguarding the rest of your yard and keeping it healthy.
Control Tree Growth
When you leave a stump, oftentimes, it will start to produce new sprouts, which are small trees that are growing out of the stump. When this happens, essential soil nutrients are taken away from your other plants to support this new growth. Allowing this to happen compromises the health of neighbouring plants. It also will disturb your landscape design.
