TREE STUMP REMOVAL BASICS

Tree stumps can be an eyesore in an almost perfect landscape. Fortunately, stump removal can be physically removed anytime. Paying tree surgeons to remove the stumps when they are felling the tree is the most convenient way to remove stumps. Stump grinders can also be used but rentals may really be expensive. Manual tree stump removal on the other side is cheap but will surely require too much labor.


Reasons for Stump Removal. There are several reasons for stump removal. First of all, they are eyesores. No one likes gazing out into a yard and seeing old stumps dotting the landscape. They look even worse when weeds and other plants start growing. They also take up valuable space. It is best to see your lawn or backyard at its widest and clearest appeal as possible. Lastly, they are hazardous. By the time the stump gets camouflaged by grass then the vine and plants become tripping hazards.

Stump Removal Methods. There are several ways to remove those unwanted tree stumps. The first method will be physical removal. This is the best solution since ideally the stump should be removed entirely, but if this is not possible alternative methods usually give satisfactory results. Lucky for those dealing with smaller trees, manual stump removal can be done with a winch. Another stump removal method is by chemical removal. There are several chemicals available at garden centers that will hasten the rotting of a tree stump. This basically involves drilling a series of holes in the stump and adding the chemicals. Stump removal for this method may take a while because the decomposition time may be prolonged. You may also remove stump with the use of fire. With the use of scrap wood, people start a fire on top of a stump and keep it going until the stump is gone. Before doing this method, it is best for you to check with the officials if you are allowed to do so during the time of year. Lastly, the backhoe can be fast, but this may cost you a lot and having a backhoe in your area can be much of a hassle.

If you think that you can do the stump removal yourself, make sure to have much time as needed. Also, be reminded that patching up the holes may need certain procedures only professionals can do.

  1. You're right in saying that stumps are eyesores! I've been working on some basic landscaping, and there's this leftover stump that's just as ugly as can be. I'm looking into ways to remove it, and this is really helpful. I may just go with a removal service, since I'm not sure I really have the time to do it myself. Thanks for the help!
