Using a chainsaw, cut the stump low to the ground and remove side bark to reveal as much surface area as possible. As its active ingredient is glyphosate, all necessary safety precautions must be taken during its use.

While one’s first instinct might be to reach for a tree-stump killer, there are several nonchemical solutions to unwanted stumps that are very effective. Keep children and pets away when treating the stump, and cover the treated stump with a tarp or board during the decomposition process. When trees are felled or fall, their stumps should be removed to prevent suckering and fungal root rots. Depending on size, it shouldn’t take more than an hour to prep most stumps and apply a chemical product. The actual time it takes a chemical stump remover to decompose a stump can vary depending on the tree or plant species and whether the stump is green and freshly cut.

In the case of newly cut stumps, a stump-removal herbicide that travels to the roots is necessary to stop resprouting. Another thing to keep in mind is that tree stumps can take an astonishing amount of time to decompose, with some taking up to ten years! To use this sheeting, cut the stump as close to the ground as possible, then cover the stump and its exposed roots with the sheeting.

It’s also 4 mil thick, which means it will resist punctures and block out sunlight more effectively.

Removal is easiest if trees are cut down so that a significant length of trunk remains to give leverage to help in removal. When you cut down a tree, the stump and roots can grow, and this could leave you facing the same problem again a few years down the line. These alternatives use natural active ingredients, such as Epsom salt, or physical means, such as plastic barriers, that block sunlight to kill tree stumps.

Depending on the species—and if the tree or vine was alive when it was cut down—new aggressive shoots may soon appear around the stump, and the problem starts all over again.
