If you have a tree stump in your outdoor space, a Tampa arborist can perform stump removal service fast and professionally.
But instead of just discarding these natural remnants, why not convert them into valuable objects that can bring them a second life in the interior or exterior of your home or business? Here are a few projects that can convert a tree stump into a piece of stylish décor.
Stylish Side Table
The size and sturdiness of a stump can give it a second life as a side table, based on its circumference and height. Most side tables are anywhere from 18 and 24 inches in height and about equal size in diameter. To build a good table, the top and the bottom must be flawlessly level to stop tipping and provide a level surface. For even more visual appeal, bleach the wood, sand the surfaces, and add a coating/sealant to avoid splinters.
Beautiful Bench
This idea necessitates two flawlessly level stumps to use as supports on both sides of the plank that will serve as the seating space of a bench. The plank must not be more than 33% wider than your stumps’ diameters. A plank of the exact same width may be even more dazzling.
You can put both stumps at the opposite ends of the plank or close to the ends but still on opposite sides for an asymmetrical look.
Use a heavy-duty adhesive to permanently mount the plank(s) in the slices of the two stumps you are using. The stumps will stand out even more if the bark is left on their outsides and the plank contrasts in finish and shade to the stump.
Perfect Planter
Stumps are organic objects. Ergo, making them into a container for other plants is a way to prolong the natural material of their composition. To do this, chip or drill a hole or a multitude of holes into the top part of the stump. Next, you will drill a couple of drainage outlets into the sides of the stump for water to drain. Finally, fill the holes with gravel, top with soil and transplant or insert bulbs for dazzling plants or flowers. For simple care, use flower pots that match the sizes of your holes for fast transplanting or replacement.
