Apr 09, Easiest way to remove bush stumps. More fun in the sun removing shrubs and roots. Clean and green spring season of the year.#ShrubsandBushesRemoval#Landscapi. Apr 30, Using a shovel, dig around the root ball of the shrub and remove enough soil to loosen the root ball as much as possible.

So use your vehicle to drag the shrub or bush to where it can be discarded, dismantled, or perhaps replanted.

If you own a lawn tractor, back it up to the site of the shrub. If not, rent a small skid steer. Wrap a chain or tow strap around the exposed root ball and attach the chain to the tow hitch on the treeclear.bar: Samuel Hirshfield.

Pulling with those grubbers or cutting with a rotary cutter would be much better.

Jun 01, So use your vehicle to drag the shrub or bush to where it can be discarded, dismantled, or perhaps replanted. The weight of the shrub or bush is largely due to the soil ball intact with the roots. An easy solution to remove the dirt and hence lightening the shrub or bush is to hit the soil with a garden hose or even a power washer.
