You may need your tree stump removed from your property for many different reasons. A tree stump will only get in the way if you’re planting a garden - which means that complete stump removal might be the best option if this is the case. If you are planting a new tree or wanting to landscape your home or business property, give us a call!
You could certainly try to dig out or remove a tree stump on your own. If you have a lot of time and a lot of energy, this could save you money! However, digging out a tree stump by hand can take hours or even days, and it’s hard work. Tree stumps are often much larger under the soil than their tops might otherwise suggest, so remember to set aside a few days if you plan on digging it out yourself. Chemical decomposition is an alternative some home and property owners turn to when thinking about stump removal. Decomposition is a natural process that is incredibly slow by human standards. There is not chemical on the market currently that decomposes a tree stump over night (or even in a matter of days or weeks). Some of these chemicals do work in accelerating your stumps decomposition - however, remember that natural wood decomposition takes years, so even if you cut your waiting time in half you’re still in for a long wait! Finally, some individuals prefer to attempt burning their stump in order to remove it that way. If you attempt this method there are several things to consider. Please make sure you never leave a stump burning unattended! You’d hate to begin a wildfire over a tree stump, right? One great way to reduce your chances of starting a wildfire is to burn only during the winter - the surrounding trees are much less likely to catch fire this way. Also, keep in mind that you may actually have the opposite problem - due to the fact that stumps are mostly underground, a lack of oxygen can smother your fire before it even starts. If you utilize this method, please be careful and responsible. |
