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>

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>

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>

Q: How long does it take tree stumps to decompose?

• <div><p>It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. </p></div>

Q: Which tree stump-killing method is the fastest?

• <div><p>The fastest tree-stump killing method is stump grinding. Professional stump grinders can chip away at the stump and remove its roots within one session, potentially more for extra-large stumps. However, we recommend hiring a local stump grinding professional for this task because the machinery is dangerous to operate without prior experience, increasing the safety risk and likelihood of a more difficult removal. </p></div>
