Best Techniques One Can Use For Stump Removal

By Sally Delacruz


Places that contain several stumps look bad and unsuitable for economic activities. In order to raise safety, beauty, and economic value of a location, stump removal is a very important process. Furthermore, people passing by that area are at risk from small stubs. Stumbling on them can cause severe injuries to people. This makes it essential to get rid of them.

Cutting down a tree and removing the leaves and the stem does not mark the end of the job if the stump is not removed. One can choose to buy or hire the equipment used for the job and do it themselves or they may hire firms that deliver such services. Local newspapers or the internet should be able to provide some important information on how to locate some of the best firms that remove stumps or rent grinders.

In Spring Hill Florida most service companies demand an amount of at least 90 US dollars to eliminate one piece. On the other hand, the amount charged per day by renting companies depends on the size of grinder, but it does not go lower than 100 US dollars. Therefore if the number of stumps is high, it is cheaper for one to hire the grinder and do the job themselves. Most renting companies may give tips and some training on use of their machines.

There are five major methods one can use to eliminate stumps from their compounds. Each method takes different amounts of efforts, money, and time to get the job done. One should choose a method with a combination of money, time, and effort that suits their needs best. The methods can be broadly categorized as mechanical, chemical, manual, natural, and use of fire.

In the chemical technique, decomposition of the stump is accelerated by using chemical products. In most products, the decomposition is accelerated by potassium nitrate because it is the main ingredient. Holes drilled on the sides and at the top are used for pouring the chemical into the stub. The product used determines the rate at which the decomposition takes place. Some take as long as months while others only take a few weeks. Once complete decomposition has occurred, the stub can be removed with an axe because it becomes soft and weak.

Mechanical method involves machines in doing the job. Wood grinders are the most commonly used pieces of equipment. The machines are used by directing their teeth downwards onto the stub. They grind the wood away into small pieces of wood. It requires a few minutes to get the job done if one has the right skills. As a precaution, stones, plastics, glass, and metals should be cleared from the area before beginning the process.

Another method involves digging the stub out using manual tools such as machetes, axes, and spades. Digging around the item to remove all surrounding roots before removing the tap root is a faster and more efficient method. In case the stub is large, this method may be time-consuming, tiring and unnecessary.

Use of fire to burn stumps down is also a good option especially if they are located away from public places. Fuel oil or kerosene should be used to speed up the process. Combustible fuels must never be used in this process.
