Tree Stump Removal

Tree stump removal instructions that make a very difficult, or even 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 how many homes I re-landscaped over time, however the number is well over 500. Every one of those re-landscaping jobs had overgrown landscaping that needed 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 which you back up Bubba's pickup truck, wrap a chain around the stump and drive away as fast as you can. I'll admit, I've done that. Does it work? Type of. But https://www.cameronparktreeservices.com/ 's also the best way to really tear up a pickup, completely destroy the lawn, and possibly damage the house.
Therefore it's not this type of good idea. Especially 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 yourself. Tree stump removal by hand with the wrong tools is an impossible task. Tree stump removal with the proper tools is doable. I will not say it's easy work because it isn't. But if you use the right 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 round the tree stump with an excellent nursery digging spade, and utilizing a landscape bar, generally known as a spud bar to cut the roots as you encounter them while digging.
The secret would be to start out away from the stump. If you start working too closely to the stump you will encounter large heavy roots that will be too difficult to cope with. So if you start out a little farther and just start digging a small trench around the stump with the spade, then going around 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 from the ground. Don't pry and bend up your tools. Use 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 people write to me on a regular basis and tell me how well it worked for them.
