The Best Way To Remove Stubborn Stumps

If you have a tree stump that refuses to rot, you need to find a way to remove it. While a lot of people think that the best way to do it is to burn it, there are actually other methods that can be used instead. There are also chemical and physical ways that you can get rid of your stump. These procedures require a bit more work, but they’re often faster than the alternative.

If you’re considering the burn option, you’ll need to find a local fire department. You will also need to make sure that any debris that could catch fire is cleared away. This is especially important if your stump is in a location that is prone to wildfires. Having a fire on hand is an excellent way to quickly and easily remove a stump.

Another approach to removing stubborn stumps is to dig them out. You’ll need a sturdy mattock and a spade to do this. Then, you’ll need to expose the roots of the stump so you can begin to break them up. A hose can rinse the dirt out of the hole to reveal the roots. Digging the stump out by hand is a great option if you’re dealing with a small stump. However, if you’re dealing with a larger stump, you may need to use a more effective method.

Some homeowners take a more chemical approach to removing their stumps. They use a variety of chemicals, including potassium nitrate and kerosene. These substances weaken the wood and help speed up the decay process. During the removal process, you’ll need to keep your tarp in place to keep moisture out of the area. For a more natural alternative, you can soak the stump in a solution of Epsom salts.

You can also use a power washer to saturate the dirt and roots around the stump. This will prevent the soil from sinking down and will allow the chemicals to work better. Once the stump has been soaked, you can cover the tarp with a plastic sheet. You should then cover the stump with mulch to keep it in place.

Alternatively, you can hire a professional to do the job for you. There are many advantages to hiring a tree removal company. Many of these companies have a team of qualified professionals who can handle the entire procedure for you. And, while it might seem like you’re spending a fortune to hire a company, you’ll be saving a significant amount of money in the long run.

The best way to get rid of your tree stump is to start by removing the roots. If you don’t have a lot of time on your hands, it might be a good idea to invest in a stump grinder. It can grind up a large stump to 12 inches below ground level. But this can be an extremely dangerous task if you’re not familiar with how to use it.
