The growth of a tree is not stopped by removing it and leaving the stump. Stumps can sprout new growth from their base in the growing season, which makes them look even 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.
It may look like a harmless stump, but when you take a closer glance it can be anything but. Tree stumps are a breeding ground for termites, ants, wood-boring beetles and other insects, which could quickly lead to an infestation. This can have a negative impact on your plants as well as compromise the integrity and value of your property.
Estate agents will tell you that kerb-appeal can influence the market value of your home by as much as 10%. You may not be able to sell your home for the desired price if there is a visible tree stump.
