After having 3 trees removed these Bothell, WA homeowners hired us to remove the stumps that dotted their landscape. Don't let the size of these stumps fool you; the job was bigger than it seems. To prepare the area for subsequent planting, we had to grind deep and long to remove the majority of the stumps and their roots. Mission accomplished. [ 130 more words. ]

Note the size of this enormous stump-- Jay is dwarfed when seated atop and were you able to find the men's boot in the pictures below? This job called for a little chainsaw-work prior to being shredded by the grinder. After we finished, our Burlington, WA clients were able to reclaim 30 square feet of their yard previously lost to this giant stump and its roots. [ 138 more words. ]

DIY Stump Removal Tips 5. Burn That Stump Out!

This method is very time-consuming unless you plan to build a bonfire using a great deal of additional fire wood on top of the stump. Soaking it in gasoline can create an explosion of the vapors in the air burning you and leaving the stump totally intact. Using diesel or kerosene is safer, but no more effective. The stump essentially becomes a wick which allows the kerosene to burn on top of the stump with 90% of the heat rising away from the stump leaving it alas, intact. The only way burning a stump would be effective is to dig a pit under the stump and then create a fire there using other firewood and kerosene. Not the most efficient option to say the least.

DIY Stump Removal Tips 4. Yank It Out With My Truck!

Stumps are designed by nature to successfully resist being “yanked” out. There are small stumps that will yield to the F-250 bumper. Generally, the “snatch” method often ends with damage to your truck, broken ropes, and bruised egos. Think carefully before trying this one out.

DIY Stump Removal Tips 3. Stump-B-Gone: Fairy-tale Chemical Concoctions

I am not sure why these companies are allowed to sell this product. If I ever saw it work as advertised I would be happy to admit it here. I have lost count of the number of stumps that I have been called to grind after they have been drilled and treated with this “product”. Many of these stumps were treated many times over many years and they were still completely intact. The only difference I noticed was the cloud of dusty chemical thrown up as I ground them out. I was not happy to be breathing whatever that stuff is. Please avoid using these products. In my opinion chemical stump removers simply do not work.

DIY Stump Removal Tips 2. Renting A Stump Grinding Machine

While renting a grinder will prevent or at least delay calling me; it comes with it’s own headaches. Ok….Here’s how it usually goes. Find a rental store, drive there with your trailer (you do have a trailer….right?) wait your turn, pay for the rental (around $200 give or take) for the day, (are the teeth sharp? is it easy to use? will it flip over on a hillside? will it throw rocks toward my house? who pays if I damage the machine?)get it back home, learn how to use it without hurting yourself, find out it is not as easy as you thought, you find rocks in the ground around and under the stump that you hit and break cutter teeth, but you rented it and by-cracky you’re gonna finish the job before tomorrow when you have to return the machine or pay for another day. But with broken (or dull from the last guy) teeth it is not cutting so well. So thankfully just before dark , nearly a full day of your weekend spent, you manage to vanquish your enemy….three stumps about 24″ across. Ohh, and let’s not forget you still have to return the machine in the morning. Later that week you learn that Jay would have charged you $225 for the same job and you need not lift but a telephone.
