Tree Stump

A tree stump is the remaining part of a tree that has been cut down. It is typically composed of the tree's trunk and roots. Tree stumps can be unsightly and dangerous, which is why it's important to remove them as soon as possible.

Why remove a tree stump?

Tree stumps can take up valuable space in your yard; these are some of the reasons you might want to remove a tree stump:

Safety Hazard - Stumps can be a trip hazard, especially if they are not level with the ground. If someone trips on a stump, they could seriously hurt themselves.

Pest Infestation - Stumps can attract pests like ants, termites, carpenter ants, bees, and rodents. Not only are these pests a nuisance, but they can also cause damage to other parts of your property if left unchecked.

Mowing - It can be difficult to mow around a stump, which means you'll likely have patches of tall grass in your lawn.

Lack of Aesthetics - Stumps are not the prettiest sight. They can make your whole lawn look unkempt and messy. By removing the stump, you can tidy up your yard and make it look more presentable.

Removing a Tree Stump Painlessly

1. Manually remove the stump

Although this method requires more effort, it produces good results. Start by digging a hole around the stump that's about 12 inches deep. Then, use a pry bar to loosen the roots from the ground. You can remove the stump from the ground by loosening the roots.

2. Chemically remove the stump

You can also buy chemical stump removal products from most hardware stores. These products work by dissolving the tree stump. However, you need to be careful when using these products because they can be dangerous if used incorrectly.

3. Burn the stump

If you have access to a chainsaw, you can cut the stump down as low to the ground as possible. Then, drill holes into the top of the stump and fill them with an accelerant. To finish, set the stump on fire and let it burn until there's nothing left. You need to be careful when doing this because it's easy to start a forest fire.

4. Remove the stump with a stump grinder

If you want to remove the stump quickly, you can rent a stump grinder from most hardware stores. It's important to read the instructions carefully before using one of these machines.  A stump grinder is a large machine that has a rotating blade that grinds the tree stump into small pieces. However, this method is very messy and can damage your lawn so we advise the best and safest thing to do is to hire a professional to remove the stump. Hire A1 Tree Service Spokane today!
