TAKING A CONIFER DOWN AND TAKING THE STUMP OUT

[@paulchandleredge2edge582]

Love this video, watched numerous times, I use a stump jack and when you hear the sound of the roots going after all that hard work, it is such a relief. Jasons videos inspired me to start my own business...and I've never looked back. Cheers Jason

[@jasongardener3425]

Cheers mate, it's always a relief to hear that crazy sound, as you know you are winning 👍 😀

[@danielcounsel6147]

That is a big ol' Conifer - good working getting that stump out.

[@jasongardener3425]

Fantastic job Jason. I bet you were completely knackered at the end of the day.

This a man that is not scared of hard graft. Wonderful job, great to watch. New sub👍

Thanks Jason, I have 2 large conifers I need to remove and the tips you've shared here are very helpful

You are one of the best and most precise gardeners I have ever seen in my life. Recently I watched a handful of your videos and all I can say is respect; you are a rare gem among us gardeners. Please keep up with the outstanding work.

[@jasongardener3425]

Thanks mate 👍👍

[@gaurapms]

Good job Jason and another great viseo, brings back memories for me from a few years ago I had very similar job glad to get home that day and put feet up, great use of the jack, not tried that.

[@VictoriaBoyle]

A lot of work involved! Well done. Very good video thank you.

[@chrisblurton6117]

Another great job Jason very methodical and precise. That farm jack is one of the best things I’ve bought this season. Hope you have a good end to the year mate. 👍🏻

[@wayneessar7489]

Thank you for including how you make a cut that allows the crooked branches to be more easily drawn through the chipper!

[@scottthomson700]

Good work Jason. My preferred method for stump removal in that size range is cut it as close to the ground as possible and stump grind it. Your way works fine to though.

[@richardbarrett7544]

I've just had some guys come and reduce a 16' conifer hedge for me down to about 8'. I had no idea how much stuff there was to get rid of after it. I don't know what you charge for a days work, but it could never be enough for all that hard work. My admiration goes out to you Jason.

[@jasongardener3425]

👍👍

[@jasongardener3425]

Thanks mate

[@aheather66]

I recently removed a similar stump for my neighbour. I uncovered the large roots, axed through them, then dug a space under it and used my car jack. Worked a treat 👍👍👍

Cool 👍👍👍

Incredible job. ! 🙌🏽🏋🏽‍♂️🏋🏽‍♂️ You were awesome. ! 👍🏽🏋🏽‍♂️👍🏽

[@farleyjack2510]

Proper job, well done, the new plants or grass will grow well in that area. It’s nothing but hard graft to remove stumps like that by hand. Ignore stump grinding comments, that’s a half baked cheap and nasty method with leaves a lot of wood in the ground rotting down and causing problems. If you can get a mini digger in that’ll make short work of it, but access is almost always an issue in UK gardens. If there is a good anchor like another large tree and you leave a long stump, you can use a come along winch sometimes. They are about 20 quid on flea bay👍🏻 I admire you work ethic, I’ve done plenty of stumps myself and it is hard.

[@jasongardener3425]

Cheers mate 👍👍👍👍👍

[@marlenerichardson4429]

Hi everyone, please could anyone suggest a good axe. I really have no idea and there’s hundreds on the market. I need a long handle and it’s for removing the stump of a conifer. Thankyou in advance x

A very tidy and organised job well done 👍

[@michaelkilner5031]

Nicely done Jason. A chipper is worth every penny. Best regards, Mick

[@nice2nettles]

Thanks for showing how you did this, and the hard work that goes into it. I've been asked to remove a big 7ft juniper. Nowhere near as big as your conifer, but without having any of that equipment I think I'm going to have to turn it down. Might be able to remove the branches with a hand saw, but I've got no chance with the stump!

[@annecleary1023]

Well done getting that tree cut up all in one day. Landscap garden is not for lazy people. People see you cutting grass on a nice day and say I would love to do that some people have forgot what hard work looks like.

[@paulstir]

Amazing commitment there ! Wd I had 3 conifers last year same garden same day it was tuff about half the size , I just hope it payed well 😁👍 as mine did

[@juleswombat5309]

Awesome job. So What can you do with conifer chippings and loose ends? I presume they cannot be composted, so who and where do conifer chippings go to ? Anything environmentally useful ?

[@felipezamora2836]

Your a hard worker jason, good job

My back was aching just watching you 🚑🙈 great job as always 👌🏼

[@josephmccole4132]

Absolutely love your videos Jason! Great work.

[@jackw9920]

Proper job that mate, so much better than the stump grinder bodge that just makes a huge pile of chip and soil that nothing can grow in and that sinks if you turf over it. That was right at the limit of the farm jack. I passed my ones limit the other day but it has served me well for years so can’t be too sorry. New one ordered!

[@discmotoslots]

what a cute little chipper!

[@greengreengrassuk4966]

Always enjoy your videos and voice over Jason but this one was fantastic. Angles, shots used, no filler, great explanations and a job well done. First class effort.

[@jasongardener3425]

Thank you, appreciate that, it was a long time ago, but from what I can remember, it took a day, I try to keep the videos informative and try to get the angles in, that show what's happening. Happy Christmas 🎄 🍻

Good Job, you work very hard.

[@bchgardenservices]

Did a job like this late last year. Took about 10 feet or so of the top of a couple of conifer to clear telephone wires. Ended up taking five hours to chip the branches and the pile of chippings was as big as a car. Under estimated that job by about a whole day!!!!

[@JamesDesk]

Jason - what did you connect your farm jack to? I normally use a chain but you seem to have a different method.

[@Bbugert1]

Who says hard work can't accomplish something. Job well done, hi 5.

[@jasongardener3425]

👍👍

[@alexwatt569]

U make life hard work mate for such a small job, no need for a pole saw at all and 2 hours to remove a conifer stump! You want to invest in a stump grinder pal. But as they say each to there own

[@colinsmith16]

Who needs a stump grinder when you have Jason Gardner

[@OswestryGrey]

Great job. We pay a price for letting plants like conifers get out of hand. Leave it too long and the wretched tree is 20 feet tall, cuts out all the light ...that is where you come in.

I hope you see this question on an old video. I read somewhere that conifer chips are no good for mulch. Is this true? Can they be used for anything?

[@jasongardener3425]

Hi, yes and no. It's very acidic, so good as mulch on empty borders or pathways, but not very good on flower borders 👍

[@earthmagic1]

@@jasongardener3425 Good idea for the paths! I have this mindset where anything dug up or pruned in my garden never leaves it. I also use comfrey big time. I have subscribed to your channel and will go through all your videos 😁

Nice work man starting to do some more tree work myself. Just had a look online for a chipper like yours and eventually got to the most expensive one which was a Vermeer forestry chipper with some 1700 odd hrs that was going for $795k lol not happening

[@julianeaston8607]

I call that dedication, as a point of interest what make and horse-power is the chipper you are using and where can it be purchased here in U.K.

[@waynemartin6841]

Gave a guy a price to get rid of some dead pines including grinding the stumps. Bigger than this one. He decided to do the stumps himself. The time he took to do it by hand he was saving himself about $1 an hour. Good exercise but in his case false economy.

[@mariadoloreslisboaferreira]

Your skill and your equipment are amazing, but I was sad that I not only cut down but uprooted that beautiful tree.”

[@Glesga_lassie]

Did you check there was no hedgehogs or animals below it? I had a terrible time getting two connifers this size remove from my new house last summer. The guy I hired charged me six hundred pounds to basically throw all the branches all over my garden, then said his saw couldn't cut through the stump so left and I had to pay him as he was becoming aggressive. I paid for the chipper hire which they got but it didn't work. I ended up having to pay someone to help me remove the branches and cut the stumps. Cost me nearly 1500 in the end.

[@jasongardener3425]

Wow, they sound like rite cowboys and ripping you off, it's sad that there are people like that out there.
