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.
Many pros advertise that they work on stumps large or small. Free estimates are standard in the industry, so you'll know the cost of getting rid of these eye-sores and lawn hazards. When getting an estimate, make sure that removing the debris and filling in the hole is included. Of course, you may get a lower price by doing these clean-up tasks yourself.
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.
There's another approach that you'll also find online. This involves letting stumps 'season' (the beginning of the rotting process) for a year, boring holes in them, and pouring a chemical decomposing agent into the holes. This takes time but once the wood is porous and soft, you can use an ax to break it up and take it away.
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.
