Winters here may not be as extreme as they are in other areas of the country, but temperatures are still colder than they are in the hotter summer months. This is the perfect time of year for stump removal. If you have a stump in your yard that you’ve been waiting to have removed, here are a few reasons why now is the best time to have it taken care of.

Why Winter Is a Good Time for Stump Removal

  • Fewer pests. One of the biggest problems that come with lone stumps in your yard is the increased pest presence. Lots of different types of pests are drawn to stumps, but in the winter, pest presence decreases significantly. This means trying to work around or deal with pests during the stump removal process isn’t as big of an issue.
  • Healing time. When a stump is removed, the yard needs to heal. Healing in the winter is much better than healing in the spring or summer because there isn’t a lot of surrounding plant growth to contend with.
  • Spring preparation. Spring is a popular time for homeowners to begin their landscaping efforts. Waiting to hire a stump removal service until spring begins can delay any landscaping plans that you have. This could cause you to miss crucial planting and growing time that you’ll need if you want your yard to look its best at the end of spring and beginning of summer.
