Turning your stump to mulch is the most efficient way to prevent the problems associated with a tree stump. A stump can produce a ton of healthy, nutrient-rich mulch to nourish the rest of your garden and flower beds.
Healthy mulch for your garden can also help retain moisture in the soil, prevent weeds and pests, and insulate your garden to keep it cool in the summer.
While this service costs more than the other two options, you get the most out of your money and make the best use of the stump.
There’s a misconception that a tree stump can be left alone, that nature will take its course, and that rotting and biodegrading are part of the tree’s life cycle. However, long before the stump can break down, there are three potential problems to consider and one efficient solution:
The potential trip hazard on your property is just one potential problem. A dead tree trunk will begin to rot, inviting a slew of potential issues to your property.
Not all tree stumps die immediately. Many can provide the right environment for new growth. New growth is a positive and adds character to your garden and stump, but it can also drain your soil of essential nutrients and moisture necessary for the rest of your garden to stay healthy.
Rotting wood attracts wood pests, like beetles, ants, and termites. If only they’d stick to the delicious rotting stump in your garden, we wouldn’t have a problem, but pests are greedy and will start to expand their borders. Before you know it, they’ve taken over your home.
