Trees are a beautiful addition to your home. However, once the tree has been cut down, you're left with an unsightly tree stump. You may be wondering whether to have the tree stump removed or to just let it rot. Better yet, do you try and remove it yourself? Removing a tree stump requires the services and equipment of an expert. Trying to remove it yourself can be extremely dangerous. Since you don't know much about its structural integrity, choose to hire a tree service professional instead of doing it yourself.
