Treating A Stump And Eliminating It
Holes that are a few inches deep need to be drilled into the top of a tree stump. Each hole should be spaced evenly. The end of a funnel can be inserted in each hole before adding wood decomposing granules. After all of the holes have been filled, covering a stump with a tarp will prevent granules from falling out of each one. The wood will decompose after several weeks. When this occurs, the remaining wood will be spongy. A power saw can be used to cut the wood into small pieces. Tree roots will need to be uncovered with a shovel before cutting them with a saw.
Planting Grass Seed
Shovelfuls of soil need to be added to the area where a stump was previously located. A rake can be used to level the soil. Grass seed and water should be added to a seed spreader’s tank according to the directions that are listed on a bag of grass seed. A sprinkler system should be installed next to freshly planted grass seed. After a few weeks, new blades of grass will emerge. Grass blades will continue to thrive as long as they receive plenty of water.
