Stumps create an unsightly obstacle in your yard, but stump removal can be an intimidating process. Many homeowners assume that stump grinding services are expensive, and turn instead to stump removal products. But how do these products work? And are they worth the investment?
The Basics of Common Stump Removal Products
Most stump removal products contain potassium nitrate, a substance used in the creation of gunpowder and also called saltpeter.
Sounds good, right? These products offer a natural, pain-free and inexpensive way to remove stumps. But consider the process and you will realize a few difficulties, including:
- Stump removal products tend to be most effective on old, aged stumps. They have little to no effect on newly cut trees and hardwood stumps.
- This process takes an extended period of time. If you’re working on a landscape plan or installing new backyard features, a delay of this length will waste time and money.
- The stump area is unsightly and potentially dangerous during the process. Some recommend drenching the stump in kerosene before igniting it and leaving the stump to smolder. This presents a serious hazard on any property.
Alternative to Stump Removal Products
Stump grinding services offer good value, removing stumps of any size quickly and completely. Contractors use a heavy-duty grinder to reduce the stump to mulch, which can then be used in your garden.
Portable grinders offer the best solution. This equipment easily fits through a standard sized gate and will not damage your grass or surrounding gardens.
When you want to get rid of an unsightly stump, consider stump grinding services. Relatively affordable considering the speed and efficiency of the removal, this process works better than any stump removal products on the market today.
The material and aggregation is excellent and telltale as comfortably.

There are a few stumps in my yard that I want gone. I cut down the tree a long time ago, but the stumps are still there. If I got the stumps taken out then I'd be able to plant something else in its place. http://www.allseasontreeservicealberta.ca/
ReplyDeleteOur neighbors tree is so massive! Does a tree removal company cut a huge tree down in different sections. I feel like they would have to cut it in half first. http://www.treesafe.com.au/
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how strong live trees can be! I can't believe there are tree stumps that can withstand machines. It is crazy.

I think that tree removal services are really cool. My dad had a big oak tree out in his back yard that he just cut down, and now he wants to get rid of the tree stump. I've heard of some services that can come out and rip the tree stump out. I've also heard of some chemicals that you can pour on it and it will kill the roots. I don't really know that much about it but I do know that it needs to get done. http://www.treeservicessarasota.com

ReplyDeleteI tried to take out a stump with my truck one time. It was a bad idea. The truck was way too stuck that even my truck was having a really hard time working. I think I'll just have to call a real tree service company. http://www.arborcentre.com.au
ReplyDeleteI have some massive stumps in my backyard. I cut the trees down myself a long time ago, but I never could get the stumps out. It's good to see the process of removing them. I was going to try to hook my truck up to them before I read this. Now I'm thinking it might be a good idea to get a tree removal service to deal with them. They'll probably cause less destruction than I would. http://www.medinatreeservicehouston.com/
ReplyDeletePeople are usually good about having dangerous trees removed, but then they always keep the stumps around. I personally think stumps are ugly, but they're also a hazard. If you're going to get a tree removed, make sure you finish the job. | http://shadywoodtreeexperts.com
ReplyDeleteI've been having a hard time deciding what tree service company to go with. However, after reading this, I know what machines work best for stump removal. Knowing that, I can find a tree company that has the right equipment to remove my stumps in the best way. That should help me to narrow down the list quite a bit. http://smittystreeservice.net/
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information on stump removal. We cut a large tree down the other day and are left with an enormous stump now. We tried pulling it out with our little Ford Ranger but it isn't budging. Perhaps we will look into calling a tree trimming company and see if the can grind it as you mentioned.

Believe it or not, some of the best times for tree trimming are right after the winter season ends. Than you can find someone that specializes specifically in Brooklyn tree pruning and get the show on the road.

ReplyDeleteI needed a limb cut off my neighbors tree that was over my entire house. It was hanging low and ready to break off. I called four companies and only two responded. Kevin Muller tree care was the only one that emailed me an estimate. It was reasonably priced and they were able to fit me into the schedule on the day I needed. Kevin Muller came out with the crew to get them started. The two workers went beyond my expectations and even cleaned up another limb that had fell earlier leaving a jagged break, they worked safely, and did a great job cleaning up. I would highly recommend them .
