Q: How hard is it to use a stump grinder?

• <div><p>Using a stump grinder is no walk in the park. You&rsquo;ll need to feel confident using some heavy and dangerous equipment. You&rsquo;ll also need to know what size chainsaw you&rsquo;ll need. Factor in the labor for clearing out the debris and filling the hole, and your project becomes quite a laborious one. If you don&rsquo;t have experience with operating a stump grinder, it might be best to call a professional to do the job for you.</p></div>

Q: Are lilac bushes hard to remove?

• <div><p>Mature lilac bushes that are large and overgrown are more challenging to remove than small lilac bushes. Large lilac bushes have deeper roots that are more widespread, making it harder to dig them up and remove them. If you don&rsquo;t dig under and around the primary roots, then you run the risk of the lilac bush growing back. So, it is a time-consuming process if done correctly. </p></div>

Q: What will naturally kill a tree?

• <div><p>In nature, there are many things that can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-do-trees-die.htm">cause a tree to die</a>, including diseases, insects, and natural disasters such as fires or droughts. Non-natural methods of killing a tree include herbicides or manual intervention, such as cutting it down. Consult a tree removal professional about your options for naturally killing a tree.</p></div>

Q: Can I build over a stump?

• <div><p>Yes, you can build over a stump if the roots are no longer alive. Living roots will continue to grow and may damage your new construction over time. Similarly, you should also remove rotting stumps because they may continue to attract pests and even cause new structures (especially those made from wood) to decompose as well. </p></div>

Q: What will make tree stumps rot faster?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-rot-tree-stump.htm">rot a tree stump fast</a>, potassium nitrate will work far quicker than copper nails. First, drill several holes into the stump using a power drill, then pour potassium nitrate pellets into the holes. Next, add water to help the chemical absorb into the wood, thoroughly soaking the stump to ensure the pellets dissolve and spread evenly. Afterward, cover the stump with a tarp to retain moisture and block sunlight, then place mulch on top to secure it in place. </p></div>
