Some property owners believe that they can save themselves money by removing a tree stump on their own. However, many stump removal methods don’t work as advertised or don’t work at all, causing you to waste money and time. Currently, no chemical method exists to remove a tree stump quickly. Most chemical methods will contribute to the decomposition of a tree stump, speeding up natural decomposition. However, the process still takes a long time to complete, and sometimes the stump will not fully decompose for years! Meanwhile, you still have a rotting stump susceptible to pests and wildlife, and of course, you’ll still need to mow around it.

Stump Removal Process

Grubbing out a stump is an option for the weekend warrior if they can put the backbreaking effort into the project and see it through. Grubbing a stump, or the old fashioned digging method requires a few tools like pickaxes, pulaskis, and shovels. Plus, a lot of digging. It is hard to tell just how wide and deep a tree root system goes, and sometimes the hole that needs to be dug to remove a stump is many times wider and deeper than the stump first appears. Many species of trees, like hickories and pines, have taproots. Taproots are single thick roots that burrow deep to allow the tree the water and nutrients it needs. Digging out taproots is especially difficult. If you don’t want to put the time and effort into this back-breaking work, we can provide the stump grinder and skills to have that stump out quickly!

On occasion, clients will attempt to burn out a stump on their own. This is known to many as the old fashioned way to remove a stump. However, the truth is that many stumps are buried too deeply to burn hot enough and long enough to actually remove the stump. Plus, if a stump burns only partially, it can leave a mess of charcoal behind that is even messier and more difficult to remove than the original stump. Additionally, during some seasons the risk of causing a wildfire or yard fire during stump burning is a real danger. Instead of trying this risky method, give Chesterfield Tree Service a call and we can provide the stump removal or stump grinding needed.
