Tree Stump Removal

Tree stump removal instructions that make a very difficult, or even an impossible job, manageable.

I spent about 20 years re-landscaping homes. We used to re-landscape three homes a week, and we did all of this focus on evenings and Saturdays because I worked a full time job. I have no idea how many homes I re-landscaped over time, but the number is well over 500. All of those re-landscaping jobs had overgrown landscaping that needed to be removed before we're able to even start the actual landscaping job.

Tree Cutting Bovingdon  meant that tons of tree stumps and large stumps from overgrown shrubbery needed to be removed.

Needless to say county wisdom says which you back up Bubba's pickup, wrap a chain around the stump and drive away as fast as you can. I'll admit, I've done that. Does it work? Type of. But it's also a terrific way to really tear up a pickup, completely destroy the lawn, and possibly damage the house.

Therefore it's not such a good idea. Particularly when you are doing focus on someone's house like I was doing.

So over the years we refined a technique for actually removing these stumps by hand. Tree stump removal yourself with the incorrect tools is an impossible task. Tree stump removal with the proper tools is doable. I will not say it's easy work because it isn't. But if you use the right tools and the proper techniques you don't have to strain your back and ruin your tools. It's more of a methodical procedure for digging around the tree stump with an excellent nursery digging spade, and utilizing a landscape bar, often known as a spud bar to slice the roots as you encounter them while digging.



The secret is to start out from the stump. In the event that you start working too closely to the stump you will come across large heavy roots that will be too difficult to cope with. So if you begin just a little farther and just start digging a little trench around the stump with the spade, then on offer in the trench you just dug with the spud bar to cut the roots that the spade won't cut, then more spade work, then more landscape bar work, that tree stump will come out from the ground.  https://open-isa.org/members/jacketnut8/activity/1127605/  pry and bend up your tools. Use the tools to cut the roots. Prying won't get you anywhere as well as your tools will be ruined.

I've been teaching this technique on the Internet for several years now and people write to me all the time and tell me how well it worked for them.
