Stump Removal in Greenville, NC Techniques

Manual Removal

Manually removing a stump is usually the most inexpensive method; however, it is quite labor-intensive. This process involves digging around the base of the stump and removing both the stump and the remaining roots. The stump can be pulled out by hand or with the help of machinery.

Burning the Stump

This method is also inexpensive but does present some safety hazards, particularly during times of low rain and drought. The stump can be set on fire on its own or through the use of an accelerant. For safety, a trench is dug around the perimeter of the stump to prevent the spread of fire. It is a slow process and constant watch must be kept to keep the fire from spreading.

Chemical Removal

Chemical stump removal is quite involved as numerous holes are drilled into the stump to allow the chemicals to completely saturate. The chemical accelerates the decomposition process, but this still takes weeks to months to fully soften. After the stump is softened, it can be removed with basic hand tools such as an axe or shovel.
