Tree Stump Removal

Tree stump removal instructions that produce a very difficult, if not an impossible job, manageable.

I spent about twenty years re-landscaping homes. We used to re-landscape three homes a week, and we did all this work on evenings and Saturdays because I worked a full time job. I've no idea just how many homes I re-landscaped through the years, however the number is more than 500. Each one of those re-landscaping jobs had overgrown landscaping that would have to be removed before we're able to even start the actual landscaping job.

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

Of course county wisdom says which you back up Bubba's pickup truck, 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 the best way to really tear up a pickup, completely destroy the lawn, and possibly damage the house.

Therefore it's not such a good idea. Especially 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 right tools is doable. I will not say it's easy work because it isn't. But if you are using the proper tools and the proper techniques you don't need 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, generally known as a spud bar to slice the roots as you encounter them while digging.

The secret would be to start out away from the stump. In the event that you begin working too closely to the stump you will come across large heavy roots that will be too difficult to deal with. So if you start out just a little farther and just start digging a little trench round the stump with the spade, then going around in the trench you merely 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 of the ground. Don't pry and bend up your tools. Use Great site to slice the roots. Prying won't get you anywhere and your tools will undoubtedly be ruined.

I've been teaching this technique on the Internet for a number of years now and folks write to me at all times and tell me how well it worked for them.
