Tree stump removal is quicker & safer with the help of a professional
Removing a tree stump can be one of the most frustrating landscaping jobs you’ll ever have the misfortune of doing! - Thankfully however, there are ways to make the job easier!
The most convenient and effective approach is to hire a professional tree stump removal specialist. If however you are intent on tackling the job yourself, be prepared to spend a great deal of time and energy…
Top 3 methods of tree stump removal
There are a number of ways to remove a tree stump, but the top 3 methods of removing a tree stump without a grinder are:
● Removal by hand
● Removal via chemicals
● To burn it out
Removal by hand - In order to remove a smaller tree stump, try the good old fashioned method of removing it manually. This can be very hard work and may take days, depending on how big the stump is. Do not attempt this if you have a medium or large sized stump as they require more specialist tools, and even more time.
The choice of tools for the job will vary depending on your personal preference (and what's available in your tool shed!) Some common choices of tool would be an axe, a mattock (pickaxe), a shovel, and a heavy steel digging bar. You should always follow appropriate safety advice and guidance for your tools, and wear safety gear such as steel-toed boots, gloves & eye protection. Children and pets shouldn't be allowed near until the work is complete.

Removal with chemicals - Chemical stump removal is a feasible option for medium to large stumps, but it's best completed when the weather is favourable, so that the decay takes place more quickly. Chemical removal is a slow process, and can take 4-6 weeks before you start seeing any results. At times it may even take a full year (or even longer) until there are no traces of your old tree remaining.
Tools required for chemical removal include a drill, plastic tarp, garden mulch, longbow saw and fertilisers that are high in nitrogen, or potassium nitrate tree stump removal granules. Safety gear is similar to that of manual removal, but with the addition of a gas mask to prevent breathing in harmful fumes.
Burn it out - Burning a stump is another way to remove it from your property. You can use this method if you don't want to hire expensive equipment, or wait for months. Of course, this method comes with its own risks, such as allowing a fire to get out of control. Tools needed for stump burning include a drill to bore holes into the stump, saltpetre or potassium nitrate to work as a catalyst for the burn, a gardening trowel, and a shovel to dig away the remains after burning.
Safe practices include never leaving the fire unattended and to only use fire-starting chemicals in correct proportions. The aim is to burn the stump gradually and slowly.
As you can see, all the above methods involve time, energy, tools, plus the correct expertise and knowledge. A small mistake could end up with costly and harmful repercussions.
If you choose a professional to do the job with a grinding machine, it’ll be completed much more quickly. It may initially seem like an expensive option, but it’s worth it. You can rest assured that the job will then be done efficiently and safely.
