A tree stump left in your garden could cause many problems.
It can be a dangerous obstacle for children to play in the garden, especially if they are small. The stump can also cause a liability problem. You could be held liable if someone injures themselves after tripping over the stump.
The growth of a tree is not stopped by removing it and leaving the stump. Stumps that are left in the ground may produce new sprouts during the growing period, which can make them more unsightly.

These roots can spread towards your foundation, causing cracks, or they can interfere with below-ground cables, water pipes, or even your septic tank.
Tree stumps may appear benign at first glance, but upon closer inspection they are anything but. Tree stumps could harbour termites or ants as well as other insects such as wood-boring beetles and other insects, which, in no time, an infestation would have taken place. This can affect the integrity and value of your home and have an adverse affect on your plant life.
