Tree Stump Removal Services

If the stump that you are removing has shallow roots, you can think about hand digging it out. You will want some common tools like a root saw, winch, shovel, hoe, and an axe to handle this task. Dig around the stump to expose all the roots before using a root saw or an axe to expose them. Using a winch, pull the tree stump out of the ground. Note that a winch can turn out to be a dangerous and powerful weapon if you don’t anchor it well.

If you want to avoid a lot of physical work, you may use chemicals in removing the stumps. However, most of these chemicals take a lot of time before decomposing the stump. The active ingredient in most of these chemicals is potassium nitrate. To apply these chemicals, drill several holes that are eight to ten inches deep in the tree stump. Pour the chemicals in these holes and then add water to make sure that the active ingredients seep the furthest possible into the stump. Lastly, cover the stumps so that your pets and children will not accidentally lick the poisonous chemical mixture. It is advisable to leave this task to tree stump removal services because it poses a high level of health risks.

The last method that you can use to remove tree stumps is burning. The technique works so well when you use it hand in hand with chemical application because the stump becomes more porous. Before you start the fire, there should be no materials that can ignite easily in the surrounding. You should mind your neighborhood and not burn it down. The best practice is building a makeshift stove around the stump before you can start the fire.
