All about Stump Grinding

​

So you have a leftover stump, what are your options if you want to free your property from the stump? I really like what John Moran of What it Costs.com, Home and Garden Section had to say about this question - said with humor but it is quite true.  "Options:

​

1. Pour chemicals on the stump to help it disintegrate "naturally". This will take a few decades.

2. Try digging it out yourself, for small stumps this might actually work, assuming you have a truck, some chains, and a friend or two who are easily bribed with beer and pizza.

3. Dynamite. Only viable in very rural areas where the nearest neighbor is at least 3 football fields away. (be sure to film this for potentially earning yourself a Darwin Award or at least a "most viewed" for the week on YouTube.)

4. Hiring or renting a stump grinder
