Tree stumps may not always be accessible with your stump grinder. What are your options when this is the case?
– Depending on the size of your tree stump this can be done by hand or with an excavator. If you intend on using an excavator to remove the entire root ball, let us know and we’ll leave the stump high to assist with the excavation. If you’ve got a small stump that you plan to dig by hand, try waiting a few months first to let the poison take effect. As the stump starts to decay the timber will soften and may be easier to remove.
If you have enough clear space and the stump is dry enough than can be burnt. This is something that should only be undertaken in appropriate conditions.
