Statistics show that 99 percent of real estate agents believe that curb appeal is important to attracting a buyer.

What does curb appeal entail? How can you improve your home’s view from the road? Where are the most glaring areas of your property?

Some changes can be small, such as pulling weeds from your flower bed. Other changes, such as grinding up old stumps in the front yard, require more help. 

Keep reading to learn more about why having a stump grinder visit your property can be beneficial:

1. A Stump Grinder Means No Chemicals

After someone cuts down a tree, they will go to great lengths to eliminate the stump from their yard. Sometimes this involves the use of chemicals that are expensive and dangerous for the environment. 

Using a stump grinder does not add any danger to the soil or damage it beyond repair in the future. The stump grinder cuts through the wood with its powerful teeth and doesn’t need any chemical breakdown to aid in the process. 

2. Safety

Whether you plan to set fire to an old stump or attack it with an ax, grinding the stump will likely be the safer option for your well-being. When you hire professional stump grinding services, they are responsible for operating the machine.

You can provide instruction and observe from a distance but you won’t be closely involved in the removal of the stump for your own safety.

3. Save Time

It can take days or even years to remove a stump yourself. Some people wait for the stump to begin decomposing and try to take it apart at that time. 

The tricky part about working with stumps is that the roots of the tree are also a part of the equation. Depending on the size of the tree, these roots can be extremely large and very difficult to destroy.

4. Better Lawn

Are you getting tired of mowing and weed-trimming around the stumps in your yard? Do they stand out as obstacles in your otherwise clean yard? 

You will be able to mow your lawn more efficiently and spend less time around unnecessary obstacles when you remove the stumps.

5. Time & Equipment

While it may seem obvious, you may not have the time or proper equipment to do this project on your own. Hiring a tree stump grinder will allow you to continue your normal routine while the stumps are eliminated from your yard. What may take you several hours can take a professional much less time.
