Do I have to remove a tree stump?

• <div><p>Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-ideas-your-yard.htm">get creative with this tree remnant</a>. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump. </p></div>

Q: Will bleach kill a tree?

• <div><p>Bleach can potentially kill some types of delicate ornamental trees, but for the most part, it will only kill the foliage it comes in contact with. Applying bleach is not an effective method of killing a tree. A better option is to use an herbicide, which is a chemical compound designed to effectively kill a tree. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: Can I plant on top of a tree stump?

• <div><p>While plants and trees can grow in tree stumps in nature, it is not recommended in your yard. This is due to soil composition, the possibility of pests and disease, a lack of space for rooting, and moisture availability for the new tree. Instead, hire a stump removal or grinding service to remove it and start fresh in the space.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there&rsquo;s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to grind stumps or remove them?

• <div><p>Whether it's better to grind or remove a stump depends on your professional tree service&rsquo;s advice and what you intend for the landscape to look like after removal. Grinding is faster and likely more affordable, but manual removal unearths the root system and leaves the potential for a clean slate for landscape design. </p></div>
