Hello Colin and Paul, There are reasons for not stump grinding. I am well aware of the process and getting someone in, but I do have reason to not disturb things at this point. It is not cheap, and I will need the money for the concrete and other aspects of coping with some "interesting" features of the project. There will be significant excavation at a later stage, with a lot of rock fill. Broken rock is preferred as it will lock, but river rubble will serve if that is what is available and affordable.

Have you considered a stump grinder?

Hello All,
I have several willow tree stumps that I wish to remove. As they are in ground where I want to put the footings for a carport, and wish the ground relatively undisturbed, I do not want to dig them out, or have them ground up. I do know that Nitric Acid will convert the cellulose to cellulose nitrate, gun cotton, but I am looking for a way to not have all the cellulose to go that way, I want it to burn, not go bang.
I have read somewhere about a suitable mix poured into holes drilled into the stump, and I do recall the Nitric acid, and that there was something else. If anyone can make suitable suggestions, or point to the process, I would be very grateful.
Regards,
