Method of stump removal

Trees are an essential part of our nature, but sometimes it becomes hazardous for people and property. Then they need to be removed, and after that, the stump also needs to be removed. In this post, we will discuss the method of stump removal.

·         How to remove a stump by hand?

To do stump removal successfully, it helps to be dealing with a relatively small tree stump. If it is from a diseased or old tree, that helps a lot too.

To remove a stump yourself can be a challenging task. It is crucial to have the right tools like a chainsaw or limbing saw, a shovel, a pick mattock, an axe, a digging bar, a four-wheel-drive truck and some chain.

·         Tree Stump Killer and Chemical Stump Removal

If manual labor is not for you, you could always try the chemical method. To remove a stump chemically, you will need a chainsaw, a drill, potassium nitrate, an axe and kerosene or fuel oil.

·         Burn a Tree Stump

Rather than trying the methods that will either break the wallet or potentially break the back, also you could try removing the stump by burning it.

·         Rot a Tree Stump

It is very much the same as burning a tree stump; you can also remove a stump by rotting it and then filling it in the hole after the complete process.

·         Disposing of Old Tree Stumps

It is not easy to dispose of a giant tree stump. The city may not pick it up with the rest of the yard waste. Connect your city to find out whether it will be picked up or not. If not, ask if there are any other options. In some places, local recycling centers will take large tree stumps.

If you have many tree stumps to dispose of, renting a wood chipper and then using the wood chips for many projects around the yard may be worth it. If it is allowed in your area, also you may be able to burn the old tree stumps. If you do this, ensure that you cover them with scrap wood first. If the stumps are tremendous, it may take more time for them to burn entirely away.

Most companies will pull away from old tree stumps for an additional fee or include it in the service cost, so make sure to ask before you hire a stump removal company.

So, if you are going to remove one stump from the yard, you might as well exclude all of them. You can do this job on your own, but you should completely weigh the time, cost, and effort involved before doing so. There is a good chance that you will have to rent or buy tools to get the job done, so it may finally be best to let the professional’s arborist do it instead. We also provide tree trimming and many other tree-related services.
