Chemical Stump Removal

If manual labor isn’t for you, you could always try the chemical route. To remove a stump chemically, you’ll need a drill, a chainsaw, potassium nitrate, an ax and fuel oil or kerosene.

1. Here’s a summary on how to remove a stump with chemicals:
2. Cut off as much of the stump as possible with a chainsaw.
3. Drill 1-inch holes around the perimeter of the stump. Move inward by about 3 or 4 inches and drill some more holes. Ideally, these holes should be between 8-12 inches deep depending on the size of the stump.
4. Drill additional holes around the sides so they meet with the other holes to create 45-degree angles.
   Pour liberal amounts of potassium nitrate into the holes.
5. Fill the holes with water.
6. Wait four to six weeks or until the stump becomes very spongy.
7. Use an ax to break up the spongy stump.
8. Optional: Saturate the stump with fuel oil or kerosene and allow it to sit for another week or so.
9. Optional: Ignite the stump and let it burn and smolder until it is completely gone.

Best Tree Care Practices: Don’t Top Your Tree

Topping reduces food-making capacity. Trees require a large leaf surface area to provide food for maintenance and growth. Topping cuts off a major portion of the tree’s foodmaking potential and depletes the tree’s stored reserves.

Topping stimulates undesirable “water sprout” growth. While removing most of the buds that would form a normal branch system, topping often stimulates the regrowth of dense, unattractive, upright branches (water sprouts) just below the pruning cut. Water sprout regrowth is vigorous. A topped tree will rapidly return to its original height, but will lack its original form.

Topping disfigures trees. Ugly branch stubs, conspicuous pruning cuts, and a broom-like branch growth replace natural beauty and form. Topping reduces the real estate value of trees by 20 – 100 percent. A correctly trimmed tree increases in value at each pruning.

Finding The Right Equipment: Wood Cutting Hand Saws

Handsaws are for a range of uses, from general tree pruning and storm clean up to woodworking and carpentry. Clear advantages hand saws have over chainsaws or power saws are they don’t require fuel or electricity and are lighter and less expensive. Handsaws with large teeth are preferable for a faster more aggressive cut, and saws with smaller teeth are used for finer wood work. Straight blade and woodworking saws are excellent alternatives to panel saws and hand saws cut on the pull stroke for efficiency and control. Whether you’re looking for a handsaw for light tree pruning, heavy-duty tree work, or woodworking, it’s easy to find the right saw for you at the best price on the market.

Finding the Right Brand

You can walk into any Lowe’s or Home Depot and find a wide array of chainsaw brands.  Here are some to choose from:

• Silky
• SherrillTree
• Deluxe Curved
• Quick Saw
