Huge Roots, what a mess??  

Sounds like a big pain in the bum. I wouldnt even begin to attempt something like this. But then again we are the kind of people who dont care too much about our lawn. If the grass is green its good enough for us.

I wouldn't want to do that, what a mess it must be! My Grandpa used to blast out the stumps but we weren't allowed to be on the premises while he did it. Later, he'd go through with his tractor and get the roots and let us ride along.

I'd do it myself if I had a tractor with a backhoe. Especially if it has all wheel drive.

If we could do it ourselves, we would to save the expense.. Yes, roots are huge! Makes you wonder about how the pioneers cleared so much land!

If you don't have a backhoe it REALLY is worth the money to either rent one or pay to have someone do it for you. Just the sheer size of the roots from some of the trees around here makes it a montamentual task to try to get rid of without some kind of equipment and some extra help!

I definitely would have done it myself if I had the equipment. These days, it costs a fortune to get someone to do jobs like that. I had someone come and cut some trees for me and I was shocked at the cost! They make a fortune! Of course, I don't know how often they work, so that may be why they charge so much.

We had a tree that had roots so big, it busted our water pipes! We did not realize it at first, and thought maybe one of the kids had thrown something into the toilet! We did not even think about doing the job ourselves! It is a big job that must be done correctly! Of course, with us, the landlord payed for it, but unless you know that you will not make any mistakes, I would not risk doing the job myself! Sometimes you end up paying more for a job that should have been done by a professional!

WOW..I knew they were huge but not that big..no wonder my teeth hurt..LOL

Sorry to say never have been able to do anything like that so i would have to ask someone to help...
OH tree people where are you?

Hi Mechanicone! Oh, I don't think I can do that or my hubby on our own. We will surely have someone to do the job. Just like the past days, we have hired someone to cut down the big branches on the huge tree infront of our house. It is so huge and tall that hubby can't do it on his own..besides he is scared of climbing up the tree! haha..
Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

About 8 years ago we had three big oak trees removed from our yard. We have one stump left, naturally the biggest. They are huge. I never thought our backyard would be the same, but it is. It was worth the expensive. We did pay to have someone do it because they were growing around power lines.
