Places with many stumps are made to look ugly and unsuitable for any good investment. To raise the safety, beauty, and the economic value of a place therefore stump removal plays a very central role. Furthermore, if the stubs are small in size, they are a threat to people passing by. One can stumble on the stumps and injure themselves badly. Removing them is therefore the only best and viable option that must be taken.
Cutting down a tree and removing the leaves and the stem does not mark the end of the job if the stump is not removed. One can choose to buy or hire the equipment used for the job and do it themselves or they may hire firms that deliver such services. Local newspapers or the internet should be able to provide some important information on how to locate some of the best firms that remove stumps or rent grinders.
In Spring Hill Florida most service companies demand an amount of at least 90 US dollars to eliminate one piece. On the other hand, the amount charged per day by renting companies depends on the size of grinder, but it does not go lower than 100 US dollars. Therefore if the number of stumps is high, it is cheaper for one to hire the grinder and do the job themselves. Most renting companies may give tips and some training on use of their machines.
There are five major methods one can use to eliminate stumps from their compounds. Each method takes different amounts of efforts, money, and time to get the job done. One should choose a method with a combination of money, time, and effort that suits their needs best. The methods can be broadly categorized as mechanical, chemical, manual, natural, and use of fire.
In the chemical method, chemical products are used to speed up the rotting process of the wood. Most chemical products contain potassium nitrate as the main chemical for fastening decomposition. The chemical is poured into the stub through holes drilled at the top and on the sides. The rate of decomposition of the wood depends on the product used. Some take a couple of weeks whereas others take months. After decomposition has completed, the stub remains soft and weak to be removed with an axe.
Mechanical method makes use of machinery. The most common piece of equipment used is the wood grinder. Grinders have teeth for chipping off wood. The teeth should be directed at the stump to grind it. People with the right skills can do the job in a matter of minutes. As a safety measure, plastics, glass, metals, and stones should be removed from the site before the process is began.
Another method involves digging the stub out using manual tools such as machetes, axes, and spades. Digging around the item to remove all surrounding roots before removing the tap root is a faster and more efficient method. In case the stub is large, this method may be time-consuming, tiring and unnecessary.
Use of fire to burn stumps down is also a good option especially if they are located away from public places. Fuel oil or kerosene should be used to speed up the process. Combustible fuels must never be used in this process.
