If you have a dead tree sitting in your yard, chances are that it is decaying at a faster rate than when it is still fresh. In most cases, the fastest way to get rid of a dead tree stump is to remove it yourself. However, there are many times when the only option is to remove it by hiring a professional service or professional. Here are some things to think about before you decide on which way to go:
The Dead Tree Stump - Before you remove a dead tree stump from your yard, you need to first find out where it is located. This will allow you to properly dig it up and remove it from your yard. There are several chemicals available that will speed up the decay process of a dead tree stump, so you can easily remove it from your yard.
Dead Stumps Carpentry Ants - Carpenter ants are one of the biggest offenders for removing dead stumps from yards. They are also great at popping stumps. If you do not want to deal with Carpenter ants, you might want to consider using a chemical to kill them and then having a professional remove the stump using a shovel. It is very important that if you have young children, you might want to call a tree removal company instead of doing the removal yourself because they are better equipped to deal with the problem.
Dead Tree Spores - If you don't remove a decaying or rotten stump, it will cause the roots to grow back faster. If you don't get rid of the roots as fast as they grow, the root system will likely break off and start growing again. It will also spread to other areas of your yard, spreading rot and leaving a huge mess. The longer the tree remains stagnant and the longer the roots grow, the more trouble you will have in the future removing the stump.
Dead Tree Stump Medicine - There are several products on the market today that contain chemicals to kill the roots and stop their growth. These chemicals often come in liquid or granular forms and are designed to penetrate the bark of the tree killing all the root systems and their potential food supply. Because this approach is quite messy, many homeowners choose to use herbal remedies to deal with the removal of the stump themselves. Herbs such as golden rod, white pine bark, Devil's Claw and/or diatamaceous earth are used for this purpose.
Dead Stumps As Home Decoration - There are several uses for dead trees outside of their ability to store food. For instance, some people will place their dead trees outdoors as a form of decoration. They can be cut down and arranged in a way that makes the tree look healthier and also provides some shelter from the sun and elements. In some cases, homeowners use their dead trees in the same manner they would use living trees. They might carve a room out of them, surround it with plants, or add a firelight and a few candles to make the space more cozy. Because they have been dead for so long, they are also excellent sources of materials for making certain decorations and home accents.
