When One Needs Stump Grinding Western WI Deserves Priority Consideration

By Walter Edwards


When a tree is cut down, what remains is usually referred to as a stump. Cutting down a tree is much easier than removing a stump. It is for this reason stumps are not usually removed after a tree has been cut down. On the other hand, stumps need to be removed since they can be a hazard. When the right tools and the correct procedure is followed stumps can be easily removed. For the best Stump Grinding Western WI needs to be visited.

Stumps need to be removed since they occupy a lot of space that can otherwise be used productively. They also make a place to be less visually appealing. For instance, it is a very bad sight to imagine a compound filled with stumps after several trees have been fell.

There are considerations that should be observed before the work of removing stumps is done. Roots of deciduous trees grow deeper in the ground which makes removing their stumps more difficult. Usually, fresh tree stumps are harder to remove than older ones. The size of the stab determines the method to be used for removal.

Stumps can be removed by using mechanical tools such as chainsaws, grinders, rakes and shovels. A grinder is used to grind the wood away completely or to a specified size. A shovel and a rake are used to clear off unwanted material around the stump. Places that cannot be accessed using a grinder are cut using a chainsaw. Grinders tend to throw off a lot of wooden chips when grinding, which makes it important to keep eyes protected.

Besides grinders, other tools can be used to remove stumps too. These tools are more suitable for use on small stumps. A chainsaw is used in cutting the stump on the upper part. A shovel is then used to remove the soil around the stab to enable one to reach the roots. An axe is then used to cut the roots until the stab becomes weak. A chain is then tied around the weakened stump for the stab to be pulled out. The pulling can be done using a truck.

Chemicals can also be used to remove stumps. After the upper part has been cut with a chainsaw, holes are drilled into the sides and the top of the stump using a drill. Potassium nitrate is then poured into the holes. This makes the stab spongy within a period of around six weeks before an axe is used to remove the stump.

One can also use fuel or kerosene to remove the stump. When using this method, holes should be drilled into the stab then filled with fuel. It is then set on fire and left to burn for a week. This will make the wood burn completely leaving white ash behind.

When using a grinder or burning it is easier to get rid of the ash and wood chip[s resulting from the process. It is difficult to get rid of a stump once it is removed while still intact. The benefits of hiring a service provider is that they usually carry the stab once they have removed it.
