It could be dying or badly damaged, or it could even be posing a threat to your property. When the tree is removed, a tree stump will be left behind. Although you can have the tree stump removed, you can also choose to keep it and [use it as a lawn ornament](http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/photos/0,,20658992_21259220,00.html). The following are a few ways that you can incorporate the tree stump into your lawn decoration. - Fill the stump up with flowers. This way it acts as a natural vase of sorts and it will look more alive than dead. - Use the stump as a seat. You can place a small lawn table nearby and use other natural looking seating options in addition to the stump. - If the stump is tall enough and in a good location, have a table top made and place it on top of the stump. **Even if you want the stump eventually removed from your lawn, these solutions could be a good fix until you can have professionals dig up and remove the stump.
