Perhaps you're looking at cutting down trees on your property. This project takes skill, as the height and weight of trees make them hard to handle. Stump removal is also difficult, although much less dangerous to achieve. This service is offered by many professionals in the Spring Hill Florida area, and there are also ways to do it yourself if you have the time and energy.
People cut trees to clear land, extend their lawns or pastures, make trails for hiking or four-wheeling, and open up views. Sometimes a tree gets damaged, diseased, or rotten and needs to be taken down. Perhaps roots are breaking pipes or ruining a drain field.
It's a fact that even small timber will leave stumps. These can be tripping hazards, as well as a real pain to mow around or a threat to mowing equipment if you go over one. Contractors use heavy equipment for the task of removing them, but homeowners often have only one or two to handle at a time and probably don't want to tear up their sod.
Go online to find contractors who give free estimates on jobs both big and small. It's wise to know how much things will cost before you start. Make sure that all you want done is included in the estimate, like removing all debris and filling in holes where trees once stood. If you can, doing the clean-up yourself can reduce the fees of professionals.
Many contractors offer grinding to remove both the upper parts of the tree base and the roots. You can actually buy a grinder, if you think you'll continue to face this sort of problem. However, most homeowners will only need help once in a blue moon, so buying, maintaining, and housing a personal grinder may not make sense.
A slower way to solve this problem is to use a product that accelerates the natural decomposition process. The wood must be seasoned before this method will work, which takes at least a year. Then the process involves drilling holes in the top and sides of the butt, filling them with a commercial tree-rotting powder, and adding water until all the product is dissipated into the wood. Over time the stump will get porous and rot.
Over time, the wood will get porous and softer. You can then break it up with an ax. If you want to get the roots out as well, you'll need to dig a circle and cut roots well below the level of the ground. Eventually you'll get them all and can jerk the whole mass out. You can also soak either stumps or roots with kerosene and set them on fire. A permit may be required for burning.
Potassium nitrate powder is one popular product sold for this purpose. Home remedies include pouring buttermilk into drilled holes, or hollowing out a depression and filling it with hot charcoal briquettes after you finish cooking on the grill.
