Manual Stump Removal

Our Process

  • First, we use hand tools to expose the root system including:
    • lateral roots
    • sinker roots
    • oblique roots
    • secondary roots
    • taproot
  • Then, we sever the various roots with a different tools
  • Next, we remove the stump from the excavated space
  • Then, if requested by the customer, we reconstitute the excavated space with a mixture of original soil and topsoil (additional fee)
  • Finally, we apply grass seed, fertilizer, and straw to complete the renovation (additional fee)
