Can you dig out a tree stump?

• <div><p>If you have a strong back and a lot of patience, you can dig out a tree stump. You'll need to use a pointed shovel to dig out the soil around the stump, cutting away roots with a pair of clippers as you go. You’ve removed enough soil when you can access the taproot at the bottom of the root ball. After you cut that major artery with a saw or loppers, you should be able to roll the stump over and haul it away. </p></div>

Can you burn a tree stump?

• <div><p>It is possible to burn out a tree stump if it is dried out and in an area of your property with a large buffer. Drill holes in the stump and dig around the base so it burns more easily. Then, build a small campfire on top using kindling and firewood. You’ll need enough to keep the fire going for many hours to completely burn out the stump, especially if it’s large. </p><p>Monitor the fire closely to ensure it doesn’t spread, and have a hose on hand if it starts to get out of control. When the fire is out, break apart the burned stump and dig out what’s left of it. </p><p>If this sounds like a good option, learn more about how to burn a tree stump before attempting it, as it does come with risks.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for palm tree stumps to rot?

• <div><p>Palm tree stumps can take as long as seven to ten years to rot naturally. Whereas some tree stumps rot within a year, palm trees tend to last longer due to their deep root networks. Chemical rotting (described above) can help speed the process up so your palm tree stumps rot in under two months.</p></div>

Q: How does Epsom salt remove stumps?

• <div><p>Epsom salt kills tree stumps by drying out the root system and preventing it from receiving the nutrients and water it needs to live. Over time, the salt dries out the stump, allowing it to rot and break down. You can often dig out the stump once it&rsquo;s deteriorated or cover the area with soil or mulch to allow the stump to rot away naturally. </p></div>

Q: Do I need a tree surgeon or just a regular tree company?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re taking down a tree that you don&rsquo;t suspect is affected by disease or pests and it&rsquo;s nowhere near your home or other structures, then calling in a tree company should work fine. However, anything more involved means an arborist is a better option. These pros have years of experience with tree removal and can safely take down trees located next to structures, and they have the tools, sanitization equipment, and experience to remove sick or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tell-tree-is-dead.htm">dying trees</a> without infecting nearby trees. </p></div>
