Do I have to remove a tree stump?

• <div><p>Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-ideas-your-yard.htm">get creative with this tree remnant</a>. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump. </p></div>

Will a trencher grind stumps?

• <div><p>A trencher can grind stumps, but it will take a lot longer and be less effective than dedicated stump grinding tools. Rather than using a trencher to grind stumps, since trenchers work best at digging in soil, use a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/things-to-know-about-stump-grinding.htm">stump grinder</a>. This aptly named tool has blades that spin to break down a tree stump quickly and leave the roots behind to naturally decay. You can also use shears, a hatchet, a reciprocating saw, or other root removal techniques to finish the job.</p></div>

How do I dispose of old shrubs and roots?

• <div><p>If you have a large number of leftover roots, shrub branches, rocks, and soil to remove from your stump removal project, you may need to call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/junk-removal/">professional junk removal service</a>. A small truckload of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-junk-removal-cost.htm">junk removal costs</a> between <b>$75 and $125</b> to haul away. You may also have a free composting center in your area where you can haul the materials on your own.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to remove a tree stump?

• <div><p>Unless there&rsquo;s some sort of rule in your community&rsquo;s homeowners&rsquo; association that requires you to remove a stump, there&rsquo;s no law that says you have to take it out. If you&rsquo;re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-stump-ideas-your-yard.htm">get creative with this tree remnant</a>. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take a dead tree to fall?

• <div><p>It could be anywhere from weeks to years for a dead tree to fall. A dead tree falls based on its weight, how it leans, the state of its roots, the state of decay, and what local windstorms are like, among other factors. Since it&rsquo;s hard to predict the fall&rsquo;s timing, it&rsquo;s important to cut down a dead tree quickly and avoid any unpleasant surprises.</p></div>

Q: What dissolves a tree stump?

• <div><p>Salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, and burning can all help dissolve a tree stump. You can also bury the tree stump in soil or mulch to help it rot naturally. Killing a tree stump prevents future regrowth, but you may also remove it by digging it out or grinding it. </p></div>
