Can a stump attract termites?

• <div><p>Yes, stumps can and will attract termites. They seek the shelter and food a stump provides. Once the termites find the stump, it’s possible they can spread destruction to nearby trees and homes. For this reason and many others, you’ll want to seriously consider removing any stumps in your yard.</p></div>

Can I remove a small tree from my yard?

• <div><p>You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.</p></div>

Is it bad to leave a dead tree stump in the ground?

• <div><p>It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for ground to settle after tree removal?

• <div><p>It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you&rsquo;ll have more space for fresh soil.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove a small tree from my yard?

• <div><p>You can remove a small tree from your yard if there&rsquo;s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You&rsquo;ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to leave tree roots in the ground?

• <div><p>In most cases, leaving tree roots underground is not a problem if the stump has been removed or ground below the soil. However, some larger roots may decompose, leaving dents in your soil. Additionally, some aggressive trees, including willows, oaks, elms, maples, and poplars may grow back from roots. Large aggressive trees with established root systems are more likely to grow back.</p></div>
