If you have ever tried to tackle a large landscaping project on your own, you know that you can do a lot if you have the correct tools. Pruning back branches, laying sod, and planting new flowers or bushes can be a really wonderful experience and really help you to connect with the outdoors and feel a strong sense of pride in your yard. However, there are some jobs that you simply cannot do on your own, especially as you are not likely to have the right tools or a neighbor who can lend you those tools. One such job is tree stump removal in Golden Colorado. Removing a tree stump can be as dangerous as it is time-consuming. Some people even find it difficult to remove the stumps of old bushes, which are usually much thinner around than a tree stump. The main goal of the tree's roots is to anchor the tree and keep it in place, and they are unlikely to give up simply because the tree above has been chopped down. They can have as wide of a reach as the branches above had, so it can be hard to try and get them to come out, depending on the tree. If the tree had shallow, wide roots, then you will start your tree stump removal in Golden Colorado by digging. You will need to loosen the earth all around the tree stump and the main offshoots of roots. If the tree was small enough and the roots do not stretch very far, you may be able to uproot the whole stump by exposing and loosening all of the roots. Trees whose roots spread but were too deep or too extensive to dig up may need to have the stumps cut out. You can do the digging around the trunk and then saw or chop the roots, separating them from the trunk so that it can be pulled out. Be cautious when pulling. If the trunk does not give way with a tug from your truck, don't push it or you might find yourself with a detached bumper or an injury from a snapped cable. If it was a tree whose stump went deep to tap into the groundwater table, digging would be too time consuming and difficult. It also would not be able to be pulled out, even with the help of a truck meant for towing and hauling heavy loads. In these cases, you can drill holes into the top of the stump. Then, pour kerosene in the holes in order to facilitate burning the stump. It is essential that you do not use gasoline, which is too dangerous. You will have to wait for the kerosene to seep into the stump so that it will smolder steadily when you set a match to it after a few weeks. This is a time-consuming process, however, as you will have to be present while it burns to make sure that the fire does not get out of hand. A quicker and more convenient way of handling tree stump removal in Golden Colorado is to hire the work done by professionals. Tree care services are able to bring in a heavy-duty stump grinder which is specifically created to take care of tree stump removal in Golden Colorado. These machines grind the stump down to ground level and continue on into the roots to make sure that the stump is completely removed. Once the stump has been ground out of your yard, you will have a level surface on which to lay sod or plant new grass seed.
