The Risks of DIY Stump Removal

Even small stumps can pose unexpected challenges. Attempting to remove them yourself can lead to:

⚠ Injury from Tools – Chainsaws, pickaxes, and stump grinders are dangerous if not used correctly. Accidents are common among DIYers.

🌳 Unstable Stumps and Roots – Some stumps are larger or more deeply rooted than they appear. Improper removal can cause the stump to shift or fall unpredictably.

πŸ’· Damage to Property – Using force or incorrect methods can damage surrounding lawns, patios, or underground utilities.

πŸͺ΅ Incomplete Removal – DIY attempts may leave part of the stump or roots behind, leading to regrowth or ongoing hazards.

DIY stump removal is not only physically demanding but can also create costly problems.
