Is stump removal worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, stump removal is worth the investment. It costs an average of <b>$400</b> to remove a stump, but you will likely avoid other more expensive issues, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpenter-ants-vs-termites.htm">termite and carpenter ant infestations</a>, which can cost upward of <b>$1,500</b> to treat professionally. If termites or ants attack the rotting stump—and they likely will—they could move to your primary structure after the stump is consumed. So, you could incur structural damage to your home as a result, which is even more costly and potentially dangerous.</p></div>

Q: Are lilac roots destructive?

• <div><p>Lilac roots are typically not destructive, but they can be a nuisance. Lilac roots can extend <b>15 feet</b> in all directions of your garden. Therefore, the roots can reach water and sewer lines in search of moisture and nutrients if you&rsquo;ve planted them too close. Yet, the lilac roots aren&rsquo;t likely to cause any damage to water or sewer lines. Instead, the roots will overtake the area. </p></div>
