When clearing your property, you may notice a few stumps that need to be removed as well. Whether those stumps are creating hazards for you and your family or you simply want to open up your outdoor space, stump removal is not an easy job. If you’re considering removing these stumps yourself, there’s a lot to know before starting the project. Contacting a local lot clearing expert is a good idea if you have any concerns whatsoever. Before you begin your stump removal project, consider these tips from lot clearing experts.

Clear the Area

First, check the entire area surrounding each stump that you are removing. Take note of what else might impede the removal of the stump itself. Anything and everything surrounding the stump will need to be removed as well. Use a shovel to remove all the rocks and debris around the stumps and clear the area completely.

Cutting It Down

Before totally removing the stumps, you need to cut down as much of it as you can with a chainsaw. With your chainsaw, you’ll need to cut as much as the stump down as you can, so that it’s almost level to the ground. Chainsaws, of course, are dangerous power tools, and if you’ve never used one before, stump removal is best left in the hands of lot clearing professionals who have equipment that can turn a potentially dangerous job into an easily managed project.

DIY Grinding

Once the stumps have been cut down, it’s finally time to start grinding. Using the hydraulic lever of your stump grinder, place the grinder wheel a few inches above the stump. Slowly lower the wheel about three inches into the stump, moving it side to side to grind as much of the area as possible. If at all unsure about this process, the best thing to do is to contact a stump removal expert so that your project can be executed swiftly and safely.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
