Tree stump removal instructions that make a very difficult, if not an impossible job, manageable
 
 I spent about twenty years re-landscaping homes We used to re-landscape three homes weekly, and we did all of this work on evenings and Saturdays because I worked a complete time job I have no idea how many homes I re-landscaped through the years, but the number is well over 500  https//treetrimmingcom  of those re-landscaping jobs had overgrown landscaping that would have to be removed before we're able to even start the specific landscaping job
 
 That meant that dozens and dozens of tree stumps and large stumps from overgrown shrubbery had to be removed
 
 Of course county wisdom says which you back up Bubba's pickup truck, wrap a chain around the stump and drive away as fast as you possbly can I'll admit, I've done that Does it work Type of But it's also a great way to really tear up a pick up truck, completely destroy the lawn, and perhaps damage the house
 
 Therefore it's not such a good idea Particularly when you are doing work on someone's house like I was doing
 
 So through the years we refined a technique for actually removing these stumps by hand Tree stump removal by hand with the wrong tools can be an impossible task Tree stump removal with the proper tools is doable I won't say it's easy work because it's not But if you use the proper tools and the proper techniques you don't need to strain your back and ruin your tools It's more of a methodical process of digging round the tree stump with a good nursery digging spade, and utilizing a landscape bar, also called a spud bar to cut the roots as you encounter them while digging
 
 The secret is to start out away from the stump If you start working too closely to the stump you will encounter large heavy roots which will be too difficult to deal with So if you begin just a little farther and just start digging a little trench around the stump with the spade, then going around in the trench you just dug with the spud bar to cut the roots that the spade won't cut, then more spade work, then more landscape bar work, that tree stump will come out of the ground Don't pry and bend up your tools Use the tools to cut the roots Prying won't allow you to get anywhere and your tools will undoubtedly be ruined

 I've been teaching this technique on the Internet for a number of years now and folks write to me constantly and tell me how well it worked for them
