Freeing up the roots?

[Shane]

I have been checking out a few options for the removal of the remainder of a root plate. Photo attached.

It's about 6ft across and about a quarter of the roots are still attached.

 

Access is fine, it's at the end of a car park.

 

My thoughts were -

Strong hiab - local drivers not interested if its still connected in any way.

 

Dig out with small excavator - local companies wand many hundreds with min. 1 day hire plus delivery collection, then £80 for hiab lift/removal then £50 upwards at local dump.

 

Mattock off as much crap as poss and spend hours with 25hp pedestrian stumpy (my little predartor). A very hard day but maybe the only option?

 

Any suggestions welcome -

 

One of my guys did suggest putting a floorless shed over it

 

The trunk has been sawn off about 3 inches above the soil level.

Oh no! Kenny's at the top. If he were to fall, he might die.

Ever had that feeling you should have used a different photo?

If it were me, mini excavator and take away via grab lorry. You might even pull it free with the landy.
