Stumps inaccessible with stump grinder

Sometimes, customers ask us if we can grind stumps located just next to fences, cables or lines. We try to stump as close as possible. In some cases, we can use a sawzall to finish the job. But when we can’t grind a stump because it is too close to a fence, we recommend putting a mixture of mulch and garden soil (preferably containing nitrogen) on top of the stump and let it rot naturally. Keep the soil mixture moist. Think about making compost. Compost is made by mixing carbon-rich materials such as wood chips and leaves, and nitrogen-rich materials such as food scraps with water. To make compost, it needs nitrogen to decompose. Similarly, it is a natural way for bacteria to decompose and rot the stump. It will take some time, but it's worth a try..
