Tree Stump Removal

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

I spent about 20 years re-landscaping homes. We used to re-landscape three homes weekly, and we did all of 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 well over 500. Each one of those re-landscaping jobs had overgrown landscaping that needed to be removed before we're able to even start the specific landscaping job.

That meant that dozens and dozens of tree stumps and large stumps from overgrown shrubbery had to be removed.

Of course county wisdom says that you just back up Bubba's pickup, wrap a chain round the stump and drive away as fast as you can. I'll admit, I've done that. Does it work? Sort of. But it's also a great way to really tear up a pickup, completely destroy the lawn, and perhaps damage the house.

Therefore it's not this type of good idea. Particularly when you are doing work on someone's house like I was doing.

So through the years we refined a method for actually removing these stumps yourself. Tree Surgeons Tring with the wrong tools can be an impossible task. Tree stump removal with the proper tools is doable. I won't say it's easy work because it isn't. But if you use the proper tools and the right 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 a good 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 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 cope with. So if you begin 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 slice the roots that the spade won't cut, then more spade work, then more landscape bar work, that tree stump should come out of the ground. Don't pry and bend up your tools. Utilize the tools to cut the roots. Prying won't allow you to get anywhere as well as your tools will be ruined.


I've been teaching this system on the Internet for several years now and people write to me on a regular basis and tell me how well it worked for them.
