For ecological reasons, it always makes sense to leave a tree stump in the garden instead of having to waste time disposing of it. The stump can be used very well to decorate the garden. A tree stump can also be used as garden furniture.
How can you put a tree stump to good use in the garden?
A tree stump in the garden can be used in an ecologically sensible way: it provides habitat and food for insects, decomposes and enriches the soil. It can be redesigned, for example, as a garden table, play equipment or decorative green point with climbing plants.
High ecological benefits of a tree stump in the garden
A tree stump in the garden may seem annoying to some garden lovers, but the ecological benefits are undeniable. Many insects and small creatures find shelter and food in the remaining wood.
The stump will decompose over time if not sealed. This releases nutrients that enrich the garden soil.
Last but not least, the garden owner saves himself a lot of work and trouble if he does not remove the tree stump using a milling machine or a cable pull. This work results in high costs and the garden is often severely devastated.
Use tree stump as a garden table
So that the tree stump doesn't seem so annoying, just use it! A garden table that is attached to the tree stump is useful, practical and decorative at the same time.
To do this, saw the stump very straight at a convenient height. You don't necessarily have to preserve it, as no moisture can penetrate the wood through the table top that is screwed on later.
A round plate is screwed onto the stump so that it lies straight. Fasten them with several screws so that the garden table does not wobble later. Now all you have to do is set up a few garden chairs and you can drink coffee on the former tree stump.
Build play equipment from a tree stump
A tree stump can also be used to build play equipment for children. For example, you can make a seesaw out of it. To do this, you need a sufficiently long board that you attach to the middle of the tree trunk.
A rope for tightrope walking can also be easily attached to the tree stump.
Use tree stump for decorative garden design
A tree stump can be easily covered with greenery or hidden with suitable climbing plants.
Tip
If you only have the tree roots left in the garden, you can plant them very well and use them as a decorative eye-catcher in the garden. You can even sow lawn on it.
