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>

Q: Can a tree fall if you cut the roots?

• <div><p>In extreme cases, cutting a tree&rsquo;s roots can cause it to eventually fall if the roots that were trimmed affect the tree&rsquo;s structure and stability. If you make severe cuts to roots that are more than 2 inches in diameter, you run the risk of affecting the tree&rsquo;s water flow as well as its ability to withstand severe winds or storms that could cause it to fall.</p></div>

Q: How do you hollow a tree stump without a drill?

• <div><p>Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don&rsquo;t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can&rsquo;t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge. </p></div>

Q: What insurance is needed for stump grinding?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re hiring a company to perform stump grinding&mdash;or any home service for that matter&mdash;you&rsquo;ll want them to at least have general liability insurance and worker&rsquo;s compensation insurance. This type of coverage protects both you and the business in the case of any accidents. Professional liability insurance and inland marine insurance plans are also important for tree companies to have. Ask any pro you&rsquo;re considering hiring about licenses and insurance coverage before booking the job.</p></div>

Q: Can stump grinding damage my lawn?

• <div><p>A stump grinder can cause damage if it&rsquo;s used improperly. These are large, powerful saw tools that need careful handling even when not in use. When used improperly or when the sawblade misses the mark, it can easily damage your lawn, walkways, nearby flower borders and delicate borders. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to use stump grinders carefully and to contact a professional if you don&rsquo;t feel up to the task. </p></div>

The guys were professional and worked hard. I think I paid more than I should have but they did do what was requested. I was asked to pay second half before job was finished. I declined. I have already referred them to two friends because of quality of work.
