Backyard landscaping tips and ideas, from gardening and tree maintenance, to stylish furniture and decoration ideas.
For many home gardeners, a tree stump can be a bit of an eyesore, and the urge to remove it can be hard to resist.
But preserving a tree stump and repurposing it into something decorative is worth trying. If you do have an old stump in your yard, one thing you can do is hollow it out and turn it into a decoration piece.
So you have an old tree stump in your garden or yard, and you’re thinking to remove it, or have it removed, by means of burning.
While there are various ways to remove tree stumps, the burning method is a cost-effective and relatively easy way to accomplish that goal with only a few tools and a bit of patience.
Felling a tree can be difficult work in and of itself, but the real challenge often comes with trying to remove the stump. Tree stump grinders are efficient and practical machines but also expensive.
The good news is that you can get rid of a tree stump without using a grinder. This can typically be done in three ways: manually, chemically, and by burning.
There are so many things you can do with a tree stump that it may be worth keeping it for future use. But preserving a tree stump is not as easy as it may sound and comes with risks and challenges.
In this article, I will discuss some of the reasons why you would want to keep those stubborn tree leftovers.
One of the best things about summer is getting to expand your living space onto your outdoor patio or deck. But such enjoyment is always cut short as cooler weather moves in during the fall.
One very effective way to extend your patio season is by investing in a quality outdoor heater. And when it comes to high heat output and cost-effective operation, a gas heater is the best choice.
If you’re looking for a powerful, reliable, and long-running string trimmer, then gas can be a great choice. Despite a market saturated with corded and electrical options, there are still quite a few gas weed eaters to choose from.
To help you cut through the noise and find an option that will work for your needs without breaking the bank, I’ve put together this short list of reliable gas-powered string trimmers.
Most people will install a fence for practical and safety reasons, but fencing can also have great aesthetic value.
Horizontal fencing specifically offers a lot of opportunities to complement the overall landscaping and architecture of your outdoor space.
Battery-powered string trimmers, or weed eaters, provide one of the easiest ways to keep your yard perfectly groomed.
These tools don’t require as much maintenance as gas-powered trimmers and are not limited in their range like corded electric string trimmers.
Summertime means backyard barbeques and outdoor parties. You’ve already updated your patio furniture and grill to prepare, but have you given any thought to where you’ll chill the drinks?
Plastic coolers aren’t a great addition to outdoor decor and running inside every time you or your guests need another drink isn’t the way you want to spend the party.
Go to any home-improvement store and you’ll find aisles and aisles filled with different yard tools. If you’re working on a budget or have limited tool storage space, you’ll want to know which of those many tools is necessary and which you can live without.
This search often brings people to the debate over lawn edgers vs string trimmers. These two tools are very similar and can do some of the same jobs, which further complicates the differences between them.
