Stump removal involves getting rid of the base of a tree after it has been cut down. Here’s an overview of the process:

​​​

(​Assessment) 

-Evaluate the stump size: Determine the size and type of the tree stump, which will influence the removal method.

-Check for obstacles: Ensure there are no underground utilities, cables, or other obstacles near the stump.

​

(Manual removal)

​

Plan Ahead: Research the tree species beforehand to understand its root structure. Some trees have deep taproots, while others spread out more horizontally.
 

Leverage Gravity: Work downhill when possible, using gravity to assist in the removal process.
 

Take Breaks: Manual removal is physically demanding. Take regular breaks to maintain energy and prevent injury.

Tools Needed: A shovel, ax, root saw, and a pry bar.

-Dig around the stump: Use a shovel to dig around the stump, exposing the roots.

-Cut the roots: Use an ax or root saw to cut through the larger roots. A pry bar can help loosen the stump.

-Remove the stump: Once the roots are severed, leverage the stump out of the ground using a pry bar.

-If the stump is large or if you prefer not to do it yourself, hiring a tree service company may be the best option. They will typically use a stump grinder or other specialized equipment.
