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 weekly, and we did all this focus on evenings and Saturdays because I worked a full time job. I have no idea just how many homes I re-landscaped over time, but the number is more than 500. Every 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 had to be removed.
Of course county wisdom says that you just back up Bubba's pickup, wrap a chain around the stump and drive away as fast as you possbly can. Palm tree trimming Nambour 'll admit, I've done that. Does it work? Sort of. But it's also the best way to really tear up a pick up truck, 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 through the years we refined a method for actually removing these stumps by hand. Tree stump removal yourself with the wrong tools is an impossible task. Tree stump removal with the right tools is doable. I won't say it's easy work because it isn't. But if you use 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 a good nursery digging spade, and utilizing a landscape bar, also 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. If 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 small trench round the stump with the spade, then on offer in the trench you just 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 will come out of your ground. Don't pry and bend up your tools. Utilize the tools to slice the roots. Prying won't allow you to get anywhere and your tools will be ruined.
I've been teaching this system 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.
