I am in the process of burning out some stumps on my property right now (along with a huge brush pile). The guy who is doing it for me has 30 yrs experience and he says that burning it is not always the best method because it can continue burning through the root system for a long time and could crop up in another place and start a fire (not much worry for that at my place right now as I have about 3 ft of snow on the ground). So, burning can be done, just be real careful.

Tree stumps
Hi, all! Does anyone know how to get rid of tree stumps? Specifically, has anyone ever burned them down to ash? If so, what did you use to keep the fire going, and how long did it take? TIA.

There are products you can buy that provide microorganisms to the stump that will start the deterioration process and the stump will rot naturally.
You can have the stump ground out. You'll get a variety of prices. If you decide to go this route, please make sure the company you choose is insured and bonded and licensed.
If you decide to try to burn the stump out, you could find it takes a LOT longer that you ever imagined. Also, once you begin to burn the stump, it will make it almost impossible to grind the stump after that if you change your mind about methods of removal. The fire and heat applied to the stump make it extremely dry and hard and.
I had a tree and some big limbs fall due to the past hurricanes in Florida and thought I was going to have to have the stump ground out. I had to call a tree service to trim the other trees in my yard and while there, I had them look at the stump. They were actually able to "bump" the stump out of the ground in less than a minute with a small Bobcat they had brought.
Just be sure to investigate all your options before making your decision. Good luck! :)

tree
This year I did not put my artificial tree up. This is the first year without a tree at Christmas in many, many years. But our children are grown and the grandkids will not be here this year so I decided to skip it. I do love my tree up and really enjoy it but at 50-something I no longer have the energy to do it. Instead, I decorated the house very simply with candles and several nativity sets. I think my home looks Christmasy and it won't be too difficult to put it all away.
We planted a tree
We had a sink hole starting in our backyard once, it was small at first but was getting deeper and wider. That year we planted our live Christmas tree in the hole, with some additional dirt and gravel, etc. My husband figured the roots would help hold the soil in place and it seemed to work for us... no more hole, just a beautiful evergreen.
Same here last week. I had a prelite tree
and it was smelling hot. When I checked it the plug had melted into the power strip. Tossed it out immediately and bought a new tree. Glad you and your family are okay. Merry Christmas!

Buying and planting a tree or shrub in their yard,
something that blooms/flowers so that they can seek comfort every year and it is symbolic too.
Christmas tree blobs are my absolute fave. Send some to me. nm
