What is the fastest way to get rid of a tree stump?

If you’d prefer to tackle those pesky tree stumps yourself rather than hire an expert, then there are a few ways you can try. Check out some of these home remedies below that are supposed to be effective in stump removal. Epsom salt - For a cheap and easy way to kill tree trunks, try this out: mix Epsom salt with water in a bucket and then dump the mixture on your stump. The magnesium and sulfur in the Epsom salt will poison the stump and speed up the decaying process. It's not exactly recommended though, as it can be harmful to other plants nearby if you overdose on your stump. Plastic bag or tarp - One of the easiest ways to get rid of a tree stump is to ensure it’s always kept in the darkness. Removing any sunlight will speed up the decomposition process. You can do this by simply putting a plastic bag or tarp over the stump which will force it to rot. Boiling water - You can use boiling water to speed up the natural decomposition process by drilling holes in the stump to expose as many roots as possible. Dig it out - Digging the tree stump is an effective method, but it involves quite a lot of elbow grease and could potentially cause harm to other elements in your garden. Hire an expert - Of course, the best way to get rid of a tree stump is to hire a professional. At Dorset Arborists, we have all the skills, experience and machinery to safely and effectively get rid of your tree stumps in no time at all.

Stump Grinding

If you’re looking for a less intrusive way to remove your tree stumps, then our stump grinding service is the perfect solution. Stump grinding is very efficient and is a much less damaging process compared to stump removal.

We’ll shred your stump down into small woodchips and then dispose of them in quickly and efficiently, or you can use them as mulch for other plants.

The main downside with stump grinding is the tree’s roots will still be left behind, quite often a few feet underground which makes them difficult to remove.

However, after grinding the roots will naturally decay although it is a very long process before they completely break down. Let our specialist tree surgeons at Dorset Arborists take care of your stump grinding needs today.

It’s difficult to answer this question because it truly depends on a number of factors. For example, grinding a small tree stump takes mere minutes, but larger stumps may take all day depending on the hardness of the wood.

It all depends on which tree we are working with, as some are thicker and larger than others.

Grinding a tree is a term referring to tree stump removal. This is a process used by professional tree surgeons to remove old tree stumps. A stump grinder is used to remove the stump without damaging any roots.

The benefit of using a stump grinder is you can choose how much you’d like to take off. Stump grinding is usually the preferred method of stump removal because it is far less intrusive to the rest of your garden, but not the best option if you want rid of your stump completely.

Stump removal is usually more expensive than stump grinding because it is a far bigger job. Grinding can often be a quick process and won’t require anything in the way of root removal.

Complete stump removal on the other hand can be a complicated, arduous and time-consuming process as it will also involve removing the entire root system below so the stump cannot grow back.
