Description
The tree stump in front of our home is a significant safety hazard. Approximately 18 inches wide and 6 inches tall, the jagged, uneven surface poses a serious tripping and fall risk. This hazard was tragically demonstrated when a young child on a scooter fell, tried to brace themselves, but did not see the stump, resulting in a fractured wrist. Beyond safety, the stump detracts from the neighborhood's appearance and makes lawn care difficult, leaving unsightly overgrown patches around it.
