Stump Removal (VIDEO)

Getting rid of an unwanted tree doesn’t end with cutting it down (that’s the easy part!) Even after cutting it up and hauling it off or chipping it, you will be left with a stump, and this can be where the real work starts.

I’ve seen people try to get around this with various methods, including burning the stump, which is so dangerous I can’t believe people do it. The fire can easily travel underground through the roots, starting other fires. But in this video, the method of using a farm jack to lift the stump while cutting the roots is clearly demonstrated. This method might not be as easy as burning the stump, but it is quicker, and much safer.
