Forums Forums General Forums A - Z Leisure & Hobbies Getting rid of Tree Stumps

Can anybody point me in the right direction of the best way to cut tree stumps down to ground level. They are from conifer tree`s and they are about a foot tall and bout the size of dinner plate round.
Tried small axe, but hardly goes through them, would a bigger fell axe do the job?

Thanks guys in Advance

Get a bow saw, or chain saw, give me a chain saw, i'd have fun getting it down.

Would be better off digging around the stump and cutting the roots with the saw/chainsaw...

Dig around the roots then pull them out.

Yeehhh go for it Willo

Thanks guys, the stumps are blocking the way of us putting fencing panels up. We`ve had the panels for couple of weeks now and need them up asap.
So just need stumps cutting down to ground level, do you think a big axe would do it?

Try it, but if you don`t get all the roots ,and it`s still alive it will only damage your fence later on wooops

True, never thought of that

I got rid of a weeping willow years ago with a few injections of costic soda into the trunk , all gone easy peasy so maybe when you chop the trunk to nothing inject into roots no way will that come back good luck

Arr thankyou very much for the advice, will do that x

you can get rid off my dead tree and stump then

where is it TR ?in the front or back?

in the front i had lol it is a big tree.

in the front i had lol it is a big tree. [/quote]Don`t cut it down throw some lights on iy for xmas i`d love that

Hire a stump grinder. Don't think you can buy caustic soda anymore, another good thing stopped by the Health and Safety, I believe.
