Ask anyone who’s done it, and they’ll tell you the same: Tree stumps are a doozy to remove in most cases. Often, what starts out looking like a small job turns into a days-or-months-long fiasco. To make the most of your stump removal situation, you need to pre-plan. Use this guide to determine the best mode of stump removal for your circumstances.
DIY Stump Removal For everything under the sun, there is a DIY method people swear by. (DIY deodorant is one of those things we wouldn’t recommend--just saying.) If you have one to two months to wait for your stump to rot, DIY stump removal is a good choice for you. First, it’s incredibly cost-effective. As long as you have a chainsaw, a drill, and a shovel on hand, all you’ll have to buy is a chemical rotting agent (Potassium nitrate works great, and it’s cheap.), and some fire starter. The downside to this option is that it’s a several-step process and can take up to a few months to complete. The upside is, the smaller and older your stump is, the quicker you can get-er-done. Rent a Stump Grinder Many hardware stores rent out stump grinders for a couple of hours to a few days. If you have one or two stumps, call around and price check. On average it will wind up costing you approximately $100 for as many stumps as you can grind in one day. The downside to this option is that stump grinders are challenging to use if you’ve never managed one, and a few stumps could wind up taking you all day. The upside to this option is if you know how to use a stump grinder, you could have those suckers extracted within a few hours. Hire a Stump Removal Company Hiring a professional means you don’t have to spend your own time or energy removing stubborn stumps. Stump removal companies have the tools and the know-how to remove as many stumps as you need gone, and odds are, they’ll be much faster than any DIY method.

If you do rent a stump grinder, ask the rental dealer to give you a rundown on how the machine works. If you purchase one, read the directions and warnings thoroughly. Stump grinders are heavy machines, and the blades are sharp. There’s little room for error--be sure you know what you are doing before you attempt to use one on your own. Step 1: Clear the area around the stump of rocks and debris. Step 2. Using a chainsaw, cut away as much of the top of the stump as possible. You will want to try to cut it as close to the ground as you can. Step 3: First, position the grinder wheel right over the top of the front stump edge. Turn the machine on and lower it down into the stump a few inches. Swing the grinder wheel from side to side slowly, and you will see the wood chunks begin to clear. Raise the grinder wheel up and back down onto a new area of the stump and repeat this process until you have ground the whole stump. Stand towards the back of the stump grinder, and stay clear of the grinder wheel at all times.
