You grow trees in your courtyard. Sometimes they are already there when you buy a property. But with age the trees come down. Sometimes, you will have to remove them forcibly because of renovation. Never rely on so-called DIY methods as it is risky.
Tree removal is a tough task, especially if it is a large tree.
The better way is to call a professional company like Crows Nest Tree Removal.
Even if it is a bit expensive thing, you should hire an expert.
As far as cheaper methods are concerned, here are some ways.
5 Methods for Removing a Tree Stump
Manual stump removal
This method is better for small or medium-sized stumps that have shallow root systems. The tools required are a shovel, mattock, axe, saw, and possibly a winch.
As far as the process is concerned, first, they dig around the stump to expose the roots. Then the roots are cut with a saw or axe. Typically, a mattock is used for removing the soil. A winch might be required to pull larger stumps.
This cheaper method brings immediate results. But it is a labor-intensive and time-consuming method.
Chemical Decomposition Method
Many service providers use chemical methods of stump removal in Adelaide. This method is okay if you are not in a hurry to remove the stump. It is because it takes six months to remove the stump.
You need a fertilizer with high nitrogen, potassium nitrate stump remover or Epsom salt.
After drilling holes into the stump, they are filled with chemicals. Water is added to it and the stump is covered entirely with a tarp.
The chemical makes the decomposition method fast.
Its benefit is you need to put in the least physical effort. These chemicals are not very costly.
The negative side is that it takes a few months to work.
Burning
Another popular method of tree removal in Adelaide is burning stumps.
You need a drill and fuel. Some people use potassium nitrate stump remover also, but it is optional.
First, they drill holes into the stump and fill it with potassium nitrate(which is optional as said before).
The stum is soaked with fuel. After igniting the fire, it is monitored until the entire stump gets burnt.
This is a very effective, fast, and cheap method.
The flip side is there are safety risks. Also, this method may not be permitted in all areas because of fire hazards or environmental regulations.
Rotting
This is a cheap and natural method. You need Epsom Salt and water. You need to drill holes into the stump, fill it with Epsom salt, add water, and cover it. Salt will dehydrate the stump and accelerate the decay.
This is an eco-friendly and inexpensive method. However, it takes quite a long time to decompose the stump.
Use of a Stump Grinder
If you need a faster and more mechanical method, then a stump grinder is good.
It is very fast and effective. There is no need to wait for complete decomposition.
However, it needs physical efforts and proper safety precautions. Use any of these cheap methods to get rid of tree stumps in your courtyard.
