What do I do to get rid of Stubborn Stumps
March 27th, 2009 . by adminThe first & foremost step is to select the appropriate technique to use for removing tree stumps. If you opt for manual tree stump removal, use a mattock for best results. Its broad end lets you to dig around the tree stump; the other edge works as an axe for cutting your way through the tree roots. Dig and chop your way under the rootball to the tree’s taproot. In case of larger tree stumps, the main root may be strong enough to need cutting with a full-size axe. Another method is to enhance the microbial processes that would eventually decompose the stump anyhow. But the natural stump removal technique is terribly time consuming. To make the process faster, you have to supply two substances to speed up the decomposing: nitrogen & water or just call upon an Atlanta Tree Service to do the job for you. The process would still be slower this way, but it is an improvement over the usual process.
