Should you hire a professional for help with tree stump removal?

There could be numerous reasons why you might want to remove a tree stump in your garden. The first and foremost reason for doing so is because it spoils the look of your garden. If you have lost a tree due to natural causes, then there might be no harm in leaving the stump in place, as long as it isn’t causing an obstruction or a danger.

However, if you’re looking for a well maintained, clean and clutter-free garden then a tree stump can really spoil its overall appearance.

How to best go about safe and effective tree stump removal?

A tree stump is almost always left in the ground when a tree is felled, which can then be removed via different methods, which includes digging, pulling and cutting. If you want to get rid of it permanently, then the best approach would be to remove it by digging the entire thing out. If you are just looking for a relatively quick removal method, then you can attempt to pull it out by its roots, rather than by digging it out.

Which is the most simple method of tree stump removal?

Digging out tree stumps is one of the most simple methods because there aren't any complex preparations required. You just need a decent sized shovel to start digging out the roots holding it in place. The best time to dig stumps out would be either early spring or late autumn when the temperature has dropped a little, meaning the ground won’t be too soft or too hard.

When digging you’ll need to remove all roots that immediately connect to the main stump. There could be factors that might prevent the stump from breaking free, such as buried utility pipes, wires and rocks, etc., so you need to take precautions before hitting them with your shovel!

If there are other plants in your garden that are too close to the tree stump, you should be very careful not to damage them. Once your job is complete, fill the hole with a soil mixture, including sand and compost. Plant some new shrubs or saplings in the same location so that your area doesn’t look noticeably empty.

If you are unsure about the best way to remove a tree stump, opt for professional help. A professional will be able to provide you with all the relevant help and advice, and give you a much better chance of a successful outcome.
