When I have an unusual chore around the house that I have to do, I always try to find a way to do it that will give me an acceptable result for the least amount of money possible. In some cases that's a hard thing to do. I never want to spend a lot of money when there may be a simple and inexpensive solution out there to my particular problem.

Of course we all know the easy way out when it comes to home improvement chores, just hire the pros. However, the easiest solution is not always the most cost effective when contractors charge high prices. That's why I always wonder if I can save money doing it myself and/or tricking a friend into helping me. Surprisingly, I often have a very hard time finding cheaper solutions that will turn out comparable quality and hassle-free results than just letting the pros do it. Think about all the unforeseen expenses that would accumulate if my cheaper-than-the-pros idea goes terribly wrong. For example I may begin a stump removal project, if I don't get it right the first time my wife will make me hire a contractor anyway. Then depending on my plan of action, I'd have to add the cost of either renting equipment that didn't work properly, or tools that I broke while digging, or dynamite plus whatever else gets damaged by the explosion to the total price of the project. I could end up paying more than double what the contractor will charge to do the hard work for me and that doesn't include the tree stump disposal fee. I have to remind myself sometimes not to bite off more tha
I can chew.

But I'm not saying that hiring the pros is always the best option out there either. Lets say I have a friend who needed to remove a stump before and knows about an excellent stump remover product that works or else he/she may have experience in stump grinding and can give me advice on operating the machine. If I can get more information about less expensive stump removal methods and I'm confident that I can be successful, then I just might be able to save some money. My cost to remove a stump could be greatly reduced.

You can hire professionals or try alte
ate methods to get the job done. You can save money if you sufficiently understand the alte
ate method you choose and can do the work yourself. Listed below are a few common methods of stump removal that have worked for many people. All you need to do is ask yourself one question. Which one will cost you the least amount of your hard earned money after the job is finally done?

1. Blast the stump sky-high with explosives.
2. Pull it out of the ground with a truck and chain.
3. Dig it out with heavy machinery.
4. Speed up the rotting process by applying chemical stump remover.
5. Conventional digging with landscaping tools.
6. Do-it-yourself stump grinding.
7. Hire a stump grinding service company.
