Is There More Than One Way to Remove a Stump?

It's time to get rid of that unsightly stump you've been putting off. We describe three typical methods for removing a stump below. When you need a stump taken care of in Mesa or the surrounding areas this winter, give the team at Bassett Tree Service a call.

Chemical Removal
Utilizing chemicals to remove a tree stump is the least time-consuming method. Even so, this process takes some time, especially if the stump is substantial. This stump removal method frequently requires several weeks and could take up to a year to finish because you are essentially decomposing the stump. Chemical removal entails using a chainsaw to cut away as most of the visible part of the stump, drilling holes into the remaining stump, and then filling the holes with potassium nitrate to start the rotting process.

Excavation
Access to an excavator is necessary to remove a stump. Although this method of stump removal is efficient, it is not the greatest option if the stump is close to a building because a trench will need to be dug. Make sure the excavator is powerful enough to pull the stump out depending on its size. Another aspect to take into account is the type of soil you'll be digging up. The easiest areas to excavate are sand, dirt, and mud, whereas clay presents the greatest challenge.

Stump Grinding
One of the most efficient and economical ways to get rid of a stump permanently is by grinding it. A grinder can be used to remove a stump without harming the nearby soil or plants. A good grinder can quickly chew away a stump, regardless of how recently it was removed or how long it has been there. Any size stump can be removed successfully thanks to the availability of various-sized grinding equipment. Wood chips produced through this procedure are great for filling holes or planting beds when mixed with soil. At Bassett Tree Service, we specialize in using the best grinders to remove any stump in an efficient manner.
