Tree stumps

I have two tree stumps in the way of my fencing run for now I'm going to hack a chunk out the way so I can measure up correctly but what's the best way to remove them?

 

Dig away as much of the soil from around them, chain them to a tow bar and drag them out, slowly mind, you don't want to pull the back of the car off.

Or hire a mini digger

 

Spade, mattock or a pickaxe, blood, sweat and tears. Or hire in someone with a stump grinder if there is suitable access.

 

Liam's a gas engineer, he might get creative

 

+ I went with this method and took them out by the root all 20 of them .

 

Its much easier to take them out if you dont cut the trunk off.
You then have some leverage.

Sorry, a bit late for that advise.

 

I did Pete and used block and tackle, the trees was well established and still hard work getting them out,

The privet on the front was just as bad, plus I had the pleasure of taking out around 15 old concreate posts out the ones that used to be linked with wire, they wasn't shy with how much concrete they used over 50yrs ago .

 

Do it the easy way, hire a stump grinder. Lots of fun to use as well!
