Don’t Wait For Mother Nature to Do It
For hundreds of years, a beautiful tree stood in your neighborhood, watching over the residents. After weather and wind recently took out their wrath on it, breaking branches and marring it with a lightning strike, it has never been the same.
There’s never a good time to have that tree removed. It can be an emotional event. Depending upon the ordinances where you live, you might do it yourself and pray it all comes down like you planned, or you can hire a tree service to do it safely. Usually it takes a lot more time to remove the stump, and some tree services include that cost with the actual cutting down of the tree.
Leaving the stump in place can become a real eyesore. Stumps can attract various insects and when weeds and vines start growing around it, the eyesore becomes bigger problem. It can become a hazard by becoming camouflaged with plants, hiding it within the growth and you or someone could trip and fall. Also, old stumps take up space in your landscape. Beautiful, small urban yards don’t have room for a stump.
When You Are Left With The Stump for Removal
Removing an unsightly tree stump can be done on your own, but it takes a while and the equipment is costly. It can take months to finally rid your lawn of the tree stump, and by then it may no longer be a treasured old friend (after you called it a name or two). You will have to determine if it’s worth it to go ahead and have it removed or continue to try to do it yourself. Here are a few ways of stump removal:
- Burning the stump out: you will need a drill to put holes in the stump
- Rotting the stump takes a while, again a drill will help by filling the holes
- Using chemicals to remove the stump, drilling holes, pouring chemicals in
- Using a chainsaw to grind it down in pieces, this takes time
Removing the stump by hand takes extreme effort and time, you’ll need an ax, saw and pick, high power washer to remove the dirt from the roots.
