Tree stump removal instructions that produce a very difficult, or even an impossible job, manageable.

tree service Citrus Heights CA spent about 20 years re-landscaping homes. We used to re-landscape three homes a week, and we did all this work on evenings and Saturdays because I worked a full time job. I've no idea how many homes I re-landscaped through the years, however 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 specific landscaping job.

That meant that dozens and dozens of tree stumps and large stumps from overgrown shrubbery had to be removed.

Needless to say county wisdom says which you back up Bubba's pickup, wrap a chain around the stump and drive away as fast as you possbly can. I'll admit, I've done that. Does it work? Sort of. But it's also a terrific way to really tear up a pick up truck, completely destroy the lawn, and perhaps damage the house.


Therefore it's not this type of good idea. Particularly when you are doing work on someone's house like I was doing.

So through the years we refined a technique for actually removing these stumps by hand. Tree stump removal by hand with the incorrect tools can be an impossible task. Tree stump removal with the right tools is doable. I won't say it's easy work because it's not. But if you are using the proper tools and the right techniques you don't have to strain your back and ruin your tools. It's more of a methodical process of digging around the tree stump with an excellent nursery digging spade, and utilizing a landscape bar, generally known as a spud bar to slice the roots as you encounter them while digging.

The secret is to start out from the stump. In the event that you begin working too closely to the stump you will encounter large heavy roots that'll be too difficult to cope with. So if you begin just a little farther and just start digging a little trench round the stump with the spade, then on offer in the trench you merely 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 the ground. Don't pry and bend up your tools. Use the tools to slice the roots. Prying won't get you anywhere as well as your tools will undoubtedly be ruined.

I've been teaching this system on the Internet for a number of years now and people write to me on a regular basis and tell me how well it worked for them.
