Project # 87 REMOVE A TREE STUMP
|
|
|
|
Beware the faint of heart - stump removal is an outdoor job that requires
|
|
stamina and strength. For $150 you can rent a stump grinder that will level a
|
|
24-inch or smaller stump in about an hour. A tree trimming company will charge
|
|
about $240 to do the job. You'll save almost 40% of that if you do-it-
|
|
yourself.
|
|
|
|
There are several types of grinders available but they all work in the
|
|
same manner. The tree stump must be cut down to about 6-inches from the
|
|
ground. Then you lower the machine onto the stump so the cutting blade can
|
|
grind up the stump. The large blade has a guard over it but it still can throw
|
|
chips. Wear protective eye protection, gloves, work shoes and no loose
|
|
fitting clothing.
|
|
|
|
A stump grinder is too large to fit into a car's trunk so plan on renting
|
|
a trailer hitch and pulling it behind your car. Since you will have it all
|
|
hitched up and ready to work, it's a good time to check with neighbors who
|
|
might be willing to share the cost if they have a stump or two to grind.
