Hi,
As an ongoing project i have stripped my front garden down to the bare bones and had a new drive installed. Whilst digging the ground over in preparation for new turf i am amazed at how many roots a small tree in out garden has.
They are up to 2" thick and at a long distance away from its base. The trunk i would say is about 10" in circumference and only 12ft high.
I am now going to remove this as i feel with the introduction of a new hedge and the lawn there will be too much competition for water plus the roots will be no more.
Anyway, simple question, at what angel do i cut into the stump to avoid the tree falling onto
A- Next doors drive/car
B-My drive
C- My House
Theres only one other way and thats onto the pathway. How do i make it fall that way ????
