TREE STUMP REMOVAL BASICS

Tree stumps can be an eyesore in an almost perfect landscape. Fortunately, stump removal can be physically removed anytime.

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.

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.
