Have you recently had to have a tree removed or just moved into a property where there are one or more tree stumps in the garden? Perhaps you’ve had a tree stump sitting in your backyard for years and just haven’t gotten around to dealing with it. Many people believe that tree stumps are dead and therefore harmless to the environment; however, this is not always the case. They can harbour fungal diseases and provide a comfortable home for a number of destructive pests, as well as attracting insects such as termites to your property.

Tree stump removal can be a complex and difficult process and shouldn’t be attempted by those with less experience and know-how than professionals. Depending on the diameter of the stump and the complexity of the root system attached to it, each stump will require a different approach for removal.

Common Problems with Tree Stumps

You might have to make a decision at some stage about whether to keep your tree stump or have it removed. It’s important to be aware of the risks associated with keeping a tree stump for any period of time, especially one that’s close to buildings. Let’s look at some of the common issues that people can have with their stumps.

 

Disease

You may have heard of a diseased tree, but it’s also possible for tree stumps to become infected with disease, particularly fungal infections. Stumps are particularly prone to developing fungal diseases, especially if they are old. You might even see evidence of this on the stump in the form of mushroom-shaped fungi around the base of the stump or growing on it. Nematodes and bacteria can also make their home in a rotting tree stump, and this can affect the soil and any plants or grass growing around the stump.

 

Suckering

Suckering is simply the growth of a new shoot or stem from a plant, and tree stumps are known to form suckers in some circumstances. Getting rid of these can be a nuisance.

 

Pests

Tree stumps and their root systems are an ideal habitat for termites and white ants. These highly destructive pests are difficult to eradicate and, once settled, can destroy timber structures, including roof joists and trusses, floorboards, and supports, within just a few months. Having a tree stump infested with termites near a building is a sure sign that your property may be affected by termites.

 

Obstructions

If you’ve ever tried to mow grass around a tree stump, you’ll know that even small ones can be a nuisance to navigate around. Larger ones can cause issues with access to certain areas of the property or block pathways, and they can ruin landscaping or design plans you might have, especially if you’re planning a major redesign or want to change how you use an area.

 

Unsightly

Let’s face it, tree stumps are unsightly. Removing unwanted tree stumps from your property can dramatically improve its visual appeal.
