Time for change.

Many years ago digging out roots of a fir tree.....broke a tendon in my finger...still wonky at about 20% bended....take care....

 

Saw a video some time ago about getting rid of tree stumps.
It involved a very slow but effective burning of the stump.
Of course you still have the roots to deal with.
If you want to get the stump out you should leave a good few feet of trunk so that you have a lever.

 

I was thinking more like 6ft,

 

Had given this some thought ,but need a more permanent screen .

 

We dig down really deep all the way around the roots, then get a sledge hammer on it to rock it back and forward then get a pick axe on it. Then cut off outward roots with electric saw, keep on digging and eventually by brute strength we get them out.

 

The trees have arrived.
Hornbeam Carpinus betula frans fontain.
Just the start of the big makeover.

 

Must of cost you a pretty penny rogers probably more than you were expecting to spend . Nice choice though and you'll keep most of the planting space . What are you going to do about the future height ? trim them or just let them grow naturally .

 

All in...........and me.
Very hard work but rewarding to actually do something positive during lockdown.
