Have 45m run of double staggered Leylandii .... (no I didn't plant them)
Want to remove and plant something better ... I can obvioulsy use s chain saw and cut down to a stump, there seems to be 2 main options to removal of the remainder.
- Pull out stump with a trefoil such as in this video formatting link... but how well will that work on 20 yr old Leylandii .... typical diameter between 6 and 8 " .... assume roots will be extensive
- Hire a stump grinder .... HSS have a 6HP model : formatting link
or do I need something beefier such as
The trees are on a raised bank about 1.5m above ground behind a 1.2m wall. I can put a ramp to wheel up a 'portable' grinder .... but not something like a bobcat or similar
