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 of this focus on evenings and Saturdays because I worked a full time job. I've no idea just how many homes I re-landscaped over the years, but the number is more than 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.

That meant that tons of tree stumps and large stumps from overgrown shrubbery had 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 possbly can. I'll admit, I've done that. Does it work? Sort 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 this type of 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 yourself. Tree stump removal yourself with the wrong tools can be an impossible task. Tree stump removal with the right tools is doable.  Tree Cutting Hertford  will not say it's easy work because it's not. But if you use the proper tools and the right techniques you don't have to strain your back and ruin your tools. It's more of a methodical process of digging round the tree stump with an excellent nursery digging spade, and utilizing a landscape bar, generally known as a spud bar to cut the roots as you encounter them while digging.



The secret would be to start out from the stump. If you begin working too closely to the stump you will come across large heavy roots that'll be too difficult to cope with. So if you start out just a little farther and just start digging a little trench round 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 of the ground. Don't pry and bend up your tools. Utilize the tools to slice the roots. Prying won't allow you to get anywhere as well as your tools will undoubtedly be ruined.

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